I've thought about painting my emblems a solid glossy black but I think I'll paint my license plate surround first.

Don't matter what we like. It's your truck. Go with 2.

MDNT TOY

#3
Take it all off except the center Toyota emblem.
Keeps people wondering and looks clean.
The Black pearl is hot as well.
Just my 2 cents.
C-YA!!

debadge it. personally i debadge every car ive had. to me it just clutters up the car. looks clean, sleek without em. that way you can work on what ever badges you want if you want to put em back on.

I agree, simple is better in my book!

I figure if you are going to do it, do them all. #3 I will say however that I really like the black pearl look a lot.

i took off the lower right toyota emblem awhile ago. A little patience and dental floss did the trick.

i picked 3, but only if you paint it pearl black....otherwise, do #1

#2, leave the 4runner and SR5 stuff.

I know I'm late, but here's my two cents. BTW - I can't see the poll options... did you close it since you made a decision already?

I removed everything except the oval toyota symbol and the 4runner logo - much cleaner, but still clear that I drive a Toyota and that it's a 4Runner

i think that you should take them all off i just got a 97 runner with gold emblems took them off and painted the one in the middle black and the grille black and it looks good.

Mines Debadged, other then the front Toyota logo, but you really can't see it because of the brush guard and fog lamps. Makes it look good.

Ive been wanting to do the Black Pearl thing for sometime now, and thanks to Bob, for his great write up, its done.
Before:

After:

I know its not the best pics, but I was in a hurry.
oh, Ive also dont the front emblem, but with the winch in the way, Im not gonna put it back today, lol.
I dont think they turned out to bad concidering this was my first try.

Funny, I just removed my toyota tacoma badge form the my doors due to it fallin off. I cant see the pict on the first page but I like the clean look as well. My wife said she liked it better with it on. She also wanted me to leave on the TRD sticker on the rear. To me on or off look nice but it's a lot easier to clean and wax without them.
