    Or is it?
    I am the kind of guy that if I had a pro, I would remove the pro badge, to flashy. But if someone wants to create a faux pro, go for it. Just do it correctly.

    Or is it what? A TRD sport? The body matched fender flares, wheels, and vehicle description on your profile tell me either it is or you're pretty dedicated.

    I think it looks great! I'm one of those guys who actually prefers visible badging and I can appreciate wanting to tie in aftermarket parts. I also like the Leer tops with the custom TRD badges in the shape of the Leer badge.

    Yeah… people can do what they want. Just don’t expect others to respect their choices!

    Just the other day I saw a 2nd gen pre runner with giant multi colored “4x4” stickers on both sides. I couldn’t help but wonder was the owner trying to fool others, or bought the truck and had no idea he has a 2wd truck?

    I think we may also want to factor in how little Toyota respects the TRD nameplate. 2WD TRD Off-Road’s for example. If Toyota just slaps the stickers on anything why can’t you?

    No doubt, and I get why they make them, people buy them. However, people keep saying adding badges is done to deceive or trick people. Any normal person who sees an “Off-Raod” model will think it’s 4x4. Those trick people off the lot.

    yeah that was my point. If Toyota can put a Off Road badge on a 4x2 anything should be fair game.

    Depends how many stickers you have on it, any less than 5 will not qualify. Personally a honda fan, but don't think they offer anything i would like currently, maybe if married that would be different.
