The reason I ask is that the previous owner of my 2017 86 put TRD badges on the front fenders. I'm wondering if this was to indicate some TRD upgrades, or if they just thought it looked cool to put a TRD badge on the car. It did have a Borla exhaust that may have been dealer installed, but not sure.
Quick check for some obvious things. Are the suspension springs red? If not, they are not TRD springs. Are the sway bars red? Same answer. Does it have an air cleaner box that says TRD with a red hose to the throttle body? If so, it is TRD. If it has the stock air box, it may have a TRD air filter insert (or K&N, or many others) which merits the badge. Are the exhaust tips kind of a D-shape with the flat side on the bottom, if so, it is TRD.

Here is a good source for TRD parts for your 2017 86: https://www.sparksparts.com/2017_86
