    It's easy to remove the sticker from the box. I had the TRD Off Road sticker on my truck's box, first thing I removed. Just take a hair dryer on high setting start by heating up a corner, use your fingernail to gently lift the decal then slowly keep heating and lifting the decal.

    After decal is gone there will be some glue residue, I used Rapid Remover for that. Whatever you used to remove the left over adhesive from the badge removal should be fine, the decal adhesive is much easier to remove.

    Like most have said....remove. ALL mine came off. But I do plan to add a Canada Flag TVD Black decal on each door soon.

    They are dust collectors, water trappers, rust traps and paint destroyers.

    Much cleaner look without and easier to wash/polish too.

    Yup. I told dealer, no advertising dealership stickers or L/P holders, no Line-X stickers, nothing. It's like a wearing a BB hat with the tags dangling off it.

    You might think I had a 4.6.... Until I start it up with that Dirty Deeds exhaust. I still need to debadge mine, though. Too bloody cold for it right now.

    FYI ...here's what's under those badges. Doesn't look good for the paint to me.

    That's the hardest part of the job. I just used the hair dryer and my fingers, heating and slowly moving the adhesive back from one side to the other. This is tedious and requires slow careful progress or you may mark the paint. After you get the main thick adhesive off there will still be residue left, that's where I used the Rapid Remover to complete the job.

    I have a black truck and that will show any and all imperfections, I can say with this process of removal it can be accomplished. There is no indication of my black truck ever having badges or decals, and it looks great.

    I don't think the ones in Canada get that sticker. Either that or I've never seen one in the wild.

    No biggie. You can usually scrape that stuff off pretty easy with a good flathead screw driver.

    By the way i am completely kidding. I would never touch a screwdriver on my paint.
    The easiest way to remove emblems is a hairdryer and fishing line to "saw" through the adhesive.
    Plastic trim pry tools can be used to scrape the remaining adhesive off with heat and Goo Gone.
    A plastic drywall repair putty knife is also a better option than a screwdriver.
