Thought I would update you all on my deBadging. Thanks to those who shared their advice with me.

I started with the Limited on the driver and passenger side. I started there because I didn't know what I was doing. lol. I also removed the red and black TRD stickers. The TRD stickers were pretty easy. The gunk under the limited badges were not so easy. I spot waxed/buffed several times. Each time I did the ghosting seemed to fade a bit more. I think I am the only one who is going to notice the slight ghosting still there bc I know its there. lol.

I will remove the iForce and Tundra badges in the next couple of days. I thought it turned out good. A lot more detailing I need to do.

I used exactly what others did in this forum. Hair dryer, fishing line, goo gone, wax, isopropyl and a lot of elbow grease. Not sure if you need a heat gun, the hair dryer did well enough imo.

Final deBadge photos coming soon.

Just a few pics.
