Instructions for hood scoop install?

[Jason B]

There are some posts on here, but no pics. The one thread all the pics are broken. Hoping someone can reply that had the pics saved, or reply with the instructions on installing the scoop into the hood, with all the little nuts, rivets, etc. Not sure what goes where, and this would make it much easier.

Thanks ahead of time.

it is! Thanks. Any idea what he was talking about at the bottom of his post?

"*I've edited this for two reasons: 1. RTV/Silicone is a BAD BAD BAD idea on anything and I don't recommend it, it's messy and once dry is hard to remove. It worked OK for what I used it on here but now that I'm repainting I would recommend using the "protectors" supplied by Toyota or make your own with 3M Clear Protective Film. 2. I still recommend filling the little drain holes but I would recommend using the supplied Toyota rivets to attach the guide and plate to the bulge piece. In a pinch the button cap bolts and nuts are OK, but the rivets are a cleaner install if used properly. I did not have a rivet gun that was up to par and that is why I had problems, find one that works and do it right."

And a bug shield would mount to the aftermarket hood same way as before I assume?

I didnt read through the post so im not sure what he is talking about.

Thanks to everyone who helped with this. It was a long time coming. Blended fenders as I know silver is hard to match but now it's perfect. Really keeps the truck looking newer as most newer trucks seem to come with scoops in 2018+.

My body guy is simply amazing and is an artist. No joke. Anyone in or near PA that wants a top notch job for a good price, let me know.
