if you dont have clear fender indicators they are a good place to start nice cheap visual upgrade then maybe debadge the rear end all you need is a plastic scraper and some rubbing compound hope this helps
plastic scrapper - bad idea

get a heat gun and use a piece of fishing line to 'saw' the glue behind the badge and then use eucalyptus oil to clean the excess off

interesting how the ute has normal "slits" in tinting, one way to avoid the attention a little, you can argue that there is sufficient stock light to keep it bright enough.
