I'm moving to Western NC next year... So TEP or TRD Pro. Even if I wasn't, there's nothing wrong with wanting a TEP or TRD Pro
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

First thing I do to any vehicle I buy is remove any dealer crap on it. If they want to start paying me to advertise then that's a different story......
I'd love to do this for my wife's ride, but it's really stuck on there. Any technique in mind?

Most dealers just use vinyl stickers now. To get them off, warm them up with a hair dryer, or leave sitting in direct sunlight on a hot day, then peel off with your fingernails. Clean the area around the sticker with warm soapy water, if needed sparingly use a chemical to remove the stickiness left behind, I prefer WD40. Goo-be-gone, gasoline, and other chemicals work too, but just about everyone has a can of WD40 somewhere handy.

Cleaned her up. Forgot to remove the dealer decal (it's in black on the drivers side of the lift gate), but I'm also waiting on some wax so I'll take care of it next time I give her a good cleaning. Added decals (ECU NC state flag, Icon).
Also ordered led interior lights, license plate LED lights and led reverse lights in addition to a shorter antenna (it's the only thing that hits when pulling into the garage).

My antenna used to hit going in the garage, then it got donated to an automatic car wash. But your roof rack looks pretty close to being as tall as the antenna.Cleaned her up.

I knew you'd give in... The hockey puck just didn't cut it eh? Uniball or BJ?
the rear spacers were fine for looks but when I loaded it down for camping you could see it sag on the OEM coils. I am going BJ since they come with MOOG joints installed. The weather here in Florida (rain, saltwater in the air etc) I just think a sealed greased joint will be best.

There's never been a badge, dealer or manufacturer, that I couldn't get off with dental floss and some goo gone.

It's really damn close between the two, I think the antenna is about 2-3 inches taller. It's more of a nuisance at this point, but oh well. I've got a shorter one on order.

No, $400 including shipping to Florida. But I figured $300 is better than throwing them away! :banana:
Guy who bought them was "mfautoimport" so maybe a shop?
