Hood Swap

I did mine in a matte but it is without a scoop but it definitely helps.

Went with covering entire hood, first drive today seems much better!
Thanks

2021 Scooped hood in silver. 4000 miles on it. No nicks or chips that I can see. Looking for a near new, silver, non-scooped hood.

North San Diego County.

Thanks!
 
I guess I’ll try my luck out here…..

Have a non scooped hood and would love to trade for a scoop. SR5 in super white. Located in southern oregon but willing to travel to NorCal or southwest Washington.

I have a non-scooped hood and would love to trade for one with a scoop. Live in eastern VA and would be willing to travel within a reasonable distance to trade. I have a silver 2018 4Runner SR5 Premium and hood is in excellent shape. Hit me up if interested.
 
I'm also looking for a white, scooped hood in Utah or Nevada (basically anywhere within 300 miles of St. George, Utah). Willing to pay $500 for the swap. Thanks!

Not for 5th gen. It’s a scooped hoods are completely different then non-scooped hoods.

Scooped hoods are ~ $350 + paint and install


Oh! Well I’m clearly totally wrong. It never crossed my mind when I saw hood scoop parts on parts diagrams that the hood was different.

Is there any styling or performance advantage to the scooped hood? Is it just to accommodate the scoop?

The hood and scoop components new from Toyota are about $500 plus about $350 for paint. Aftermarket hoods can be had cheaper but I would rather spend the extra $100 and have Toyota quality products. Absolutely no performance gain, it's non functional. It's purely for looks and IMO it looks better than the flat hood.

It’s all for looks. There’s no performance gains. Here’s a pic of my limited when i first installed the scooped hood. You can clearly see a bulge. In this pic it’s missing the black scoop insert.

This is how it looks today.

Looking for a scooped hood in MGM. Have a flat 2019 hood in perfect condition to trade. In OKC but will travel considerable distance to swap.

Jemplyr77, guess I'm a few months late on your swap, saw you already picked up a new hood.

For anyone else in our area with a MGM Flat hood ...
2021 MGM hood w/scoop. 16,000 miles. 100% garage kept. Looking to swap for a non-scooped hood. Located in DFW area, Texas. Willing to travel if within a couple hours. Thanks!

Damn. If you were closer I’d be all over this. Hope you find one.
