Default Those w/ the 18" TRD Wheels

2 questions for ya...
1) I'm pretty sure that your "TRD Sports" stickers are peeling off of the wheels
like mine are, right? Are you removing what's left of the sticker or are you
leaving them on?
2) Does Toyota sell the "TRD Sports" stickers so that we can replace the bad
ones?

Thanks if you know the answers to these 2 questions... :D

i took them off (i got my box used, and the stickers were peeling) cuz they were just dirty and looked bad. i like the cleaner look of the wheel.

Yeah, I wouldn't even put them back on. The wheel looks a lot cleaner without the sticker IMO.

for the life of me, i can't get the damn stickers off, and i have been trying for 2 years... they chip away, but in tiny little strips, not enough to get a good grip and really be able to pull the sticker off. i have tried heat, solvent, yelling at them... everything. any suggestions.

yes. i did it right when i got my box. get your hair dryer or heat gun. it will aid immensely. also, get ready to sit there for an hour or two while slowly rubbing them off or peeling them off. make sure you have finger nails too. it will help. i wiped the sticker area with some water first and heated it up a bit and started peeling. it will be hot since " hot air + metal = hot metal ", but nothing scorching. i also used nail polish remover, which is a great way to remove many things. put some on the sticker edge and rub with a cloth or something. it should start to slowly, gradually peel off after a while. it's definitely a patience thing.

good luck.
