    Simple minor changes but it goes a long way. Badges come off real easy with fishing line. Got a windshield tint strip also.

    Wow, really wouldn't have expected that big of a difference, but it looks way better. Was planning on tint, but definitely debadging when mine comes in.:thumbsup:

    looks nice, would look nicer still without the loud TRD sticker. Are you going to remove that too?

    Fishing line seems to get all the ink and recommendation .....but after doing one badge that way, I just used thicker and stronger and easier on the hands, nylon string. Not only did it come off easier, but the thickness took more of the double back tape with just a little 3m adhesive remover to finish off the job. Yes I agree...why keep the sticker.....take it off, take it all off. ;-)

    I was quite surprised at how easy the badges came off. Initially I removed the tailgate ones, mainly out of curiosity. Afterwards I decided I really liked the look so proceeded with the SR5 badges, then 2 days later went ahead and removed the TACOMA ones. I really like the clean look.
    The process was simple, thanks to those who provided all the tips and guidance.
    - hair dryer for about a minute
    - fishing line to slice through the double sided tape
    - a wee bit of wd40 to remove left over tape
    - rinse with water
