Faux hood scoop

[4runr4eva]

Pretty sure that is just a stick on one and not a factory scoop

Definitely not debating that, but faux is faux whether its factory faux or not. I just think faux hood scoops are :der:

glare issue solve and I like the look.

If mine was white would definitely go with something like that.

Here is the scoop decal. Trust me on this one, make sure you get a helper to install it. One wind gust and bye bye $55 if you try it by yourself.

Man, it's been TERRIBLE on mine. Especially this time of year when I had to work STRAIGHT into the low morning sun. My vinyl decal saved the day and I actually love the way it looks.

Pics please!! [emoji16]

Sorry, terrible picture. I apparently don't take too many photos.

There's always someone on this forum looking to do a hood swap. I'm looking for a metallic gray one if anyone in Northern Cali is looking to swap out.

This is true, however it's always guys without that are looking for the swap, Can't say that I've seen many with a scoop give it up.

For those complaining about the glare, what are you doing, staring at the scoop while you're driving? I've had mine for 8 years, can't say that I have ever even noticed a glare. You know you can raise/lower/forward/back/recline the seats right?

Have you ever had the sun directly in front of you? It's like that. I'm not sure how you've avoided it. It's awful. I could not look out the windshield I suppose.

i don't know how I would feel about it in a few years from now, having the sun bake into the paint on my hood the outline of a vinyl sticker..

I hear you. I'll cross that bridge then. Buy a new sticker or have a shop paint it. I just can't keep getting blasted on my desert trips or just driving to work.

I had mine for less than a year before the sun blasted me off of the hood scoop.

Says the guy on a car mod forum...

We aren’t exactly bringing safe drinking water to sub-Saharan Africa one lift kit at a time on here.

A little late to this thread but I have to agree that in just 2 months ownership on my '19 the scoop glare is intense at times. I have the voodoo blue pro and most of the exterior is matte blacked out already so the vinyl would look decent with it I think. That white one looked pretty sharp.

Also:

I really just want some "kitt" lights when I unlock it.

For those that have the decals how have they held up in weather, car washes, etc?

"I hate that it serves no purpose."

It's the perfect flat spot to set my coffee in the morning or my beer in the afternoon. I used it almost everyday last week on the beach from Kill Devil Hills down to Hatteras.

Sure, the running boards work and so does the roof, but the hood scoop is so convenient when you're surf fishing and up and around the truck for hours on end.

Ha ha. Your use of the hood scoop made me imagine recessing six shallow can holders into the top (a la Antman). If I was more skilled at Photoshop, I'd do it up!

I traded my hood with a scoop for one without.

It reduced visibility off road significantly.

I am looking to do the same. I haven't experienced any glare issues, just prefer the looks of the standard SR5 hood.

I am in SoCal and have 18 silver hood without the scoop that will trade you for yours with the scoop :horn:
