I finally painted the hood I got a few months ago and installed it and all I can say is damnnnn! I love the new look! All I have left is 1.5" allpro spacers and to do the headlight "blackout" mod and this Runner is done!

Anyone wanna speak on the "real" experience of the 1.5" spacers. How much shake do you feel in the wheels? Alignment/balancing issues? any conerns at all?

I have a side shot in my album. These are the 5th gen 20" Limited wheels. I think they look great on 4th gens
 
Man that looks SO good! I WISH I would have gotten a limited and put a sport hood on it, but I ended up going with a sport and then putting all the bells and whistles on it.

And do I see a satoshi mod?? That's been on my list. Now I've got to do it.
 
Satoshied I am Sir

Sport hood, limited with Satoshi and 20" 5th gen limited wheels, JUST DO IT!!!!

Will post new pics when I finish...1.5" allpro spacers and "blackout" headlights.

I will finish with a NAV unit inside, cuz all I have is JBL, and the absolute last step are the seat extenders for the driver's side for 4" more leg room. I will consider it the "Perfect-Runner" then!

I know what they are, I really want a fifth gen. Too expensive and they took away a lot of the niceties but for some reason i still want one. It makes it look off but it still looks great b

I got the hood from Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market It came from a black 2008 Runner. $250 for the hood and $250 to paint it inside and out and install it.

I waited to find an original factory hood, but they list capa hoods and generic ones too on the site. I would get the factory one if at all possible because it ends up being the same money spent. The generic and capa ones don't generally have the sport hood scoop insert or the fire insulation and those are both very expensive to add. My paint shop taped the stickers under the hood to leave the factory look after the paint job. It's very hard to tell that the hood was replaced if not impossible to tell.

Hi
I have a 2005 Limited ed, I got pelted by a hail storm, I'd like to swap the ltd hood for a sport hood with the scoop, did you experience any fitment issues?
Did you get yours from the dealer or aftermarket?
Thank you for your help
