Anyone looked into a 14 trail hood?

You'd probably have good luck trading with someone local as most trail owners can't stand the glare the scoop gives off.

Haven't really noticed much of a glare yet, but I'm sure I will now haha. I'm not a big fan of the look and I'd be willing to trade one to someone that has a regular blue one.

I think all '10-up hoods will fit but check with a Toyota parts department to make sure.
The glare does not happen for everyone. I am 6'4" and apparently my angle of sight precludes any glare issues. I have 39K on it right now and I have driven pretty much every direction at different times and have not gotten any glare. I know it's real for some but for others it is just NBD.

Even the glare on the non trail hood is pretty bad! And yeah it's the angle and flatness of the hood. I think FJ is as bad if not worse.
After seeing FJs with partial hood wraps I decided to get mine done. I did the entire hood, came out great and though there is still some glare at low angles even off the flat black it's spread out and not like a mirror of the sun right into my eyes any more
There are some pics of mine at the end of my build thread.

I saw a trail with a partial wrap in the center section and covering the top of the scoop just yesterday! It looked good.
Looked like this but was rounded off and stopped before going to the end of the hood:
Anyone else bothered by sunlight bouncing off the hood scoop? - Page 2 - Tacoma World Forums
