Hood Bulge

[whododat1]

I searched but could not find a definite answer.
Is the hood bulge on my silver 21 TRD Of Road Premium the same as the TRD Pro?
I am looking to swap the part out for the black one and NOT paint it.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, they're the same hoods.

I've never heard it called a hood bulge before :rofl:

Term comes from 'power bulge' on the hoods of muscle/sports cars. My Mach 1's got one :eyebrows:

"The reason for a power bulge is to fit, for instance, a large engine or air filters that otherwise would not fit. Sometimes a power bulge is used to be able to fit a larger engine into a car that originally was not designed for it or it may be a design choice to be able to get a lower profile. As a power bulge is associated with performance cars, it may also be used as a design element to give the impression of a fast car."

The need to compensate knows no bounds :shrug:
