yea- price isnt bad for the hood- but then you have to buy the insert for it which i believe(not certain) is more then the hood price wise lol..
 
i suppose it would look just like this one, but where to do the insert good question, i think i remember COB saying that he bought his inserts from...IDK where but it was pretty expensive, i think i could run a black hood on my runner for a while and it wouldnt look to horrible...? but would defiantly need to fine some inserts for it and eventually get painted to match

COB do you have a website, i googled certifit, didnt come up with anything really close to that, did you get the insert from them as well?
 
The inserts are only available from Toyota if you want them new.

Certifit is an aftermarket replacement parts distributor. They do not offer shipping, it's pick up only.
 
looks like they are about 70$ now which is a killer deal compared to the ebay one that i found and im not far from SD so pickup isnt a problem, now i just need to find a used insert for the scoop!

Oh nice, I had a friend who lived just off of the intersection of Central and Conard. I like to drive Ortega every so often. Let me know when you're back, we'll plan something.

Are you pretty happy with the quality of the certifit hood?

That's a stinking good deal!

Yeah, it fines the lines perfectly.

Here's some pics:

Painted, just inserted before actual assembly/install

It may be a little dirty, but here it is over a year later. You can see how even the lines are. The hood is still looking great. I just took these pics a second ago for this thread.

The sport hood on my 4Runner is a Certifit hood with inserts purchased from a recomended vendor to the toyota forums. I used Page Toyota ask for Jason Michelson 248 352 8580, tell him your from t4r.org. **Note how much the hood is if you purchased it through the dealership, WOW** There are a number of Toyota dealerships online offering discounts through different Toyota forums. Give them a call and shop them.

Check out Pattycakes77 on yotatech.com. There is a sticky of his sport hood build which you will find recommendations for parts as listed below.

Parts purchased from a Toyota dealer (or elsewhere if you can find them)
53301-35170 Hood Sub-Assy, Sport Hood ($325.29)
76181-35901 Bulge Hood ($114.15)
76192-35010 Plate, Hood Bulge ($13.20)
