hell yea!! that's the main thing that got me to buy a SE was the hood scoop. also i like it when those ricer with their civic ask me "how many psi are you running" "do you have a SC/ turbo under their" :biggrin2:
The scoop's purpose is supplying air to the intercooler.
Putting the scoop on a vehicle that doesn't need it is an insult to the customer's intelligence, since it affects vissibility and aerodynamics.
I wouln't buy a T4R that includes the hood without needing it.
As a matter of fact, it's not even the only way to supply air to the intercooler, since the Toyota Prado uses the same intercooled turbodiesel engine as my 4Runner, but without the scoop.

In vehicle design, form should follow function.
A non-functional scoop on the hood that impairs visibility and increases aerodynamic drag is ridiculous. It's acceptable as an aftermarket ripoff, but not OEM.
They should spend these extra pennies illuminating the power window buttons on the doors.

Does anyone make sensors that I can install on my front bumper to keep me from hitting things.
My hood scoop blocks my vision right in front of my 4r and I am afraid I might hit another car or some other obstruction.
If I raise up my seat to try to see over the darn hood scoop, I hit my head on the too low roof and I don't have a sun roof to pop my head out of.
None of the extra features of my Sport Edition are worth driving around with that darn vision blocking, non-functional, money wasting, bug grabbing, (cool as heck), hood scoop.
Maybe I'll just take a hammer to it and pound it down flat!!
Darn guys at Car & Driver for telling me it blocks my vision.:bash:

Yeah, I have something against Asians, that is why Thai asked me to be a moderator.
Sorry guys, but because of the recent "poop" that has been happening with people coming here to start stuff, tsengs4runner has left us. I for one have had it with all the rude comments, and general disrespect for other members. This is supposed to be a fun place to be, so you will have to excuse my lack of tolerance, especially for people that are intentionally signing up to stir the pot.

Thanks Momo. I knew it was only a matter of time. I had my run in with this foolio (different thread) and new it was to similar to recent members who have been banned.
New members to the forum are generally open and polite so seeing this type of behavior was a big red flag.

okay being asian myself-that quote you just said didnt even have to do with asians and didnt even make sense why you said that in the first place.
BTW- i think the hood scoop's cool. to me, it serves no function but it makes the t4r look more aggressive

First of all I love the scoop. That is the MAIN reson why I want a Sport.
I apperciate Momo for taking control, he also stopped that other guy from talking about how Texans are low lifes. This should be a nice fun place to talk and not have other people be rude.

I appreciate that. It is really all the mods trying to stamp out these trolls. No we do not have something against little people, just people that try and disrupt everybody else by being rude. I am all for people having their own opinions, but can't stand for people to just be rude, just to be rude.
BTW, The scoop was a big deciding factor for my Sport purchase....

Trolls, what trolls ???GatorGreg said:
:Yeah I noticed a number of trolls out on the internet lately, more so than I ever noticed on this forum or YT. Maybe all forums are having a problem.
Good job on terminating them.
PS: I'm not a big scoop fan, so I didn't get one.
