    I've found the truck I want. Only problem is that it has the TRD inlay and the fender flares. Both are options that would be deal killers for me.

    They say they can remove these but my question is would there be any damage to the paint caused by the removal?

    Thank you in advance for your input.

    I'll bet the fender flares are the no-drill style, and the inlay should be easily taken off —I'd say there's nothing to worry about!

    If you’re referring to the badging, they aren’t punched through or bolted on. Toyota uses two sided tape. So, they are easy to remove using some glue remover or WD40. There are many videos on the internet that shows how to do so.

    Those are $1,000 in options and don’t worry I won’t be removing them or paying for them if they want to sell me the truck.
