We get it, it makes you happy to point out that you have more money than those people. Good for you.

Overlanding Bread Toaster :)

Put it to good use:
Weld in a "floor" in the same plane as the stock hood.
Remove plastic that blocks the front,
Replace with metal door.

Voila! Overlanding bread toaster.

separates the haves from the have nots...

just kidding.

I think visually the hood scoops make more sense on modded vehicles...on a stock vehicle....it doesn't do much for the overall theme..

I like it, and don't care that it's non-functional.

I really don't care for it... as an engineer I think form should follow function. It's ridiculous to add things like that without a need for it.

Maybe in the future they will start adding non-function AC vents.

Maybe the aerospace industry will catch up to automotive and start including these on aircraft as well.

the only reason you should have a hood scoop on your car is if its functional (the sole function of a hood scoop).

i am a less is more person when it comes to interior and exterior styling. it looks gaudy and cheesy.

Hood Scoop

My 2010 has the scoop. When I bought it (used) the scoop did not enter into the purchase decision. Some time when the modding bug bites I may arrange to have some art put in there. Like flames, or perhaps eyes, just to make it a bit more interesting. (Or weird).

"prevents less" would be a double negative meaning it allows more...

I cant say that I do not dislike the way it doesn't function.

I considered looking for a SR5 hood to put on my TRD Offroad. I hate it, it obstructs tour view, packs with snow, and it has to cost a little gas mileage. It is almost as bad ad the stupid oil filter. What is wrong with a "spin on".

Not particularly, but I did just get a matte decal to hopefully cut down on the glare. Once that's solved, I think I'll dig it again.
