So most of the Sport Hoods I have sold have been in great condition, but there are going to be some that have sheet metal damage or other issues. For most of these I am going to remove the scoop insert and insulator and sell those first. There is strong demand for these two parts and Toyota charges a lot for them brand new. Everyone knows the scoop insert is $150, but when I called Toyota of Dallas yesterday I got a quote of $285 for the insulator - not cheap. A Toyota parts dealer on eBay is selling brand-new scoop inserts for $198.71.
For those that have access to a body shop that does good work and doesn't charge too much these bent and dent Sport hoods might be a good option for you.
I'll simply post each newly acquired/slightly damaged OEM Sport hood on this thread and mark it sold as necessary. If it isn't marked sold it is still available.
If your 4Runner is not one of the six colors listed below it probably doesn't really matter which color you buy since it will be repainted anyway. You could always paint it flat black until you are ready to spend the money to have it color-matched. If you paint it flat black it would probably look sharp to color match the scoop insert to your factory paint. Most people can paint the scoop insert at home.
1999: Black, Imperial Jade Mica
2000: Black, Imperial Jade Mica, Millennium Silver
2001: Black, Imperial Jade Mica, Millennium Silver
2002: Black, Thunder Cloud, Sunfire Red, Stellar Blue
