I posted an earlier response to your dilemma but inadvertently erased it while trying to edit it to add pictures. I was finally able to resize pics to enable them to be attached.
Here is the original post:
I ordered a custom hood scoop fit (from Ebay: MrHoodScoop painted HS-002; $320.00) for my 2019 T4R with custom matched paint. I attached it to the hood myself without any problems. It looks awesome and I no longer cringe with hood scoop envy when I see 4runners and Tacomas with the hood scoop. I am new to this forum but I will attach before and after pics of my work. My neighbors who saw me attaching the scoop are also lost in admiration for the more aggressive, sportier look. They love it just about as much as I do. I was also willing to part with $1,000 to change out my hood but I tell you that you can do it yourself and you will also love your new hood scoop. Let me know if I should go through the trouble of attaching pictures.
