Looking for Limited Hood

[nratnavira]

I am in search for a white Limited hood for my 1997 4runner. A 1996 would work. My 4runner is white but any color would do. If you are looking to trade or sell please let me know

Do you mean a sport hood? As far as I know all 3rd Gen hoods are the same as long as it's not a sport.

 

[nratnavira]

yes the sports hood. I have seen them on the 1996 limited's

 

[Clemsonfan15]

Good luck. They are hard to come by. If you really want one and don't care about price you can buy one from the dealer. You could also try the classified section on this forum.

will a 1999 scoop hood fit on a 1997?

[nratnavira]

does it have the scoop top?

 

[broncosi]

no i think he is bragging that he now has the scooped hood

 

[JustAnotherT4R]

if he wated to brag...He would have done this!

GOT SCOOP?

 

[Sloan]

limited hoods are normal, sports hood have the scoop.

but like move you probably just say someone with a limited that added the sports hood themselves.

why do you torment me with your beatiful runners?

 

[earthbound]

you can buy a aftermarket sport hood for like $160 then you would have to go to a dealer and buy the insert And by aftermarket i mean from like keystone auto parts or continental auto parts or anything other dealers like those

ive seen sport hoods for sale too for $150-$160. thats primered only. and didnt include shipping. to much $$$ for me,lol

 

[rdgt4r]

mmmmmmm, sport hood!

 

[Clemsonfan15]

Are you serious? $160 for the hood and then probably $20 for the insert? I'm not sure how much painting it would be. Anybody have an idea?

That seems a lot more reasonable to me.

 

[DavidAlexander]

More like 120 in parts from the dealer for the bulge and at least 100 to 150 min for a good paint job on it.

So total your looking at least around $350. Pretty reasonable.

 

[Clemsonfan15]

Yeah, better than I thought. $120 for the insert is crazy. I wish dealerships could be more reasonable.

Exactly, how is that little piece of plastic with a little grill as much as the whole metal hood? I am still trying to figure that one out.

 

[RonMAIDEN]

Actually all the proper parts from the dealer will run about $150 then the hood plus shipping will be about $200 and a matching clearcoated and warrantied paintjob will be over $200 so keeping it under $500 would be an achievement.
