To debadge... or not...

It seems like the majority of owners on this forum are in favor of de-badging.
My truck is not a TRD, but I recently installed all of the parts that would make it a TRD, skid, sway, shocks, etc., so I thought I'd lie a little and advertise to the world that I paid for the upgrade... lol. Bought the stickers off of Etsy, pretty good quality. Im not 100% sold on the look yet, if it grows on me I'll leave it, if not its easy to remove. Gentlemen, start your opinion posts!!!

 

Debadge. Not a fan of stickers and decals.

 

I prefer a clean de badged look personally but I don’t mind stickers like your TRD one.. also the ones that go over top of the Tundra stamp on the tailgate are pretty cool too.

 

Edit - I can't read.

Looks ok.

 

Looks ok to me.

 

If your going to drive it into the ground take stickers off. if your selling in a year or two leave it alone, could hurt resale. I pay more for 100% factory trucks and others likely do too. On the other hand TRd stuff makes it look dressed up for Saturday night in the big city

 

No decal. One of the reasons I like the “nightshade edition” was no decals, no side emblem and any emblems present were blacked out.

 

super clean man

 

I don't care for the extra trees / mountains, etc.... Also... Red. Ick.

 

Totally fair. Ive seen lots of people railing on red lately, why is everyone so against red right now?

 

It is trauma from when he was a kid...dont ask any more questions.

 

It's your truck. Don't worry about what others think, make it look the way you want it to look. As the man said (slightly paraphrased): "It's a mind over matter, those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter". My truck looks the way I want my truck to look. If someone doesn't like it, it's their problem, not mine.

 

Not sure... Just not a color I can appreciate. Although the red trucks posted in my thread about not liking the red on my decals, looked pretty good! Just not for me.

Like others have said... Who cares, if you like it, that's all that matters.

 

Exactly... And thank you.

 

I de-badged, and am now discreetly re-badging (dark gray)

 

Hmmmmm.....how do you think that gray would look on Cement?

 

It's not a bad decal, but I'm always in favor of de-badging. Everything came off my G8 except the Pontiac emblem. I de-badged my truck, but with its age it left shadowing even when gently wet-sanded... so the badges went back on lol.

It just looks cleaner, but again, what you went with isn't an eyesore. I just prefer nothing

 

I like factory looks. If you didn’t get a sticker, don’t add one.

 

Some like sticker looks. To each their own.

 

I agree, but OP asked for other peoples opinions. I am not making a fact statement, just sharing my thoughts.

I am always on the “it’s your money do what makes you happy” train.

 

Fair. I did go back and read the opinions part of that post.

 

Ya man I don’t brow beat anyone else’s choices. I like them all. Beautiful thing about a popular truck is we all have so many options for customization.

 

I mean...there's plenty of choices I don't like that others do lol but it's all good. People take pride in what they do and that's all that matters. I'm sure there's things people don't like about mine.

With all this said, I debadged my "TUNDRA" door emblems yesterday. Have been debating on taking off the silver TRD SPORT 4X4 decal on the bed. It's just an oversize grey sticker that has recently been annoying me.

 

It could always be worse, you could have one of those big ass mud splash Raptor decals lol since we are sharing opinions and those are the worst

 

lol you're right, it could be worse.

 

I prefer mine debadged, easier to wash and wax. The factory emblems have lots of nooks that trap dirt and grim. The bedside decals I’m indifferent on, mine didn’t come with them and won’t add them.

 

I dont like the "TUNDRA" or "5.7" badges but stickers on the bed i like due to it looking old school with the 4X4.

 

Favor the de-badged look; and removed the "Tundra" and "5.7", but switched out my "Limited" for the Nightshade (4Runner) version.
