My Limited with all OEM sport hood

[THEROK]

To do it right, it definitely takes a bit more work. $600 paint/install + $650 parts out the door. Complete factory swap.

I'm done modding my truck now. It's perfect in my eyes for an urban bruiser! And to think today, the day I picked it up, I was this close to trading it in for a new Escalade EXT.

Thx to all those who helped.

Its not a straight swap?

Beautiful! I love the black on black. Nice tires as well.

it is. just that it's not as simple as the hood.

here's what you need to order:

-hood

-insulation

-"hood bulge" (all pieces that fit into the actual scoop area - nuts, bolts, painted piece, faux vent cover, and vent grill)

-underneath hood stickers (not cheap)

fitment is obviously factory perfect. i'm loving it. my fav view is actually the profile view.

had a little drama from toyota. the hood was structurally perfect or free of dents, but there were some parts where it looked a little scratched and rubbed against. also the painted scoop part had a couple of scratches on it so i had them paint it all.

i was going to wait for a "perfect" hood but turns out there's a national backorder on these thru December. i want my car stuff done yesterday so in the end didn't really matter. was just peeved i was spending new part money. but then i did buy it at their cost (parts chick hook up)

you guys are the dealers!

nice! a lot of coin just to add a non-functional hood scoop, but looks good. i don't think you're done modding though. i keep saying that all the time :lol:

what size are your tires again?

 

[B1Dave]

you should get rid of the "V8" on the front grill, i got rid of mine and like the way it looks, takes less than 10 seconds to pop it off, good lookin' ride

no thx. i love that v8 badge. it makes the front end in my eyes. :guitar3:

some say to black out the lights and crap... hecks no. i don't do cheap mustang crowd tint crap. the lighting is there to be seen.

it's actually a helluva cheaper than spending $XX,XXX on a cadillac. arty:

i think they're in between 32-33.. do a search on my name. i posted the info numerous times. too lazy to find it.

That scoop finishes the truck off nicely. I love the complete look! IMO much nicer than any Escalade I have seen. I need to get a black grill.

there is no way I would trade my 4Runner for Escalade

 

[JayKumar]

Would it not be cheaper to just get a hood off a wrecked SE and swap it??

 

[chukar]

now you just need the sport suspension. expect to spend a lot more $$$$ than you did on the hood.

:iagree:

Why buy an American POS?

why would i need this?

sure, but my time is money. i don't have any interest in scavenging junkyards with whom i have no idea how well they run their business for the right part in the right condition potentially having to have it shipped and waiting for Godot.

you can do it but i share my example as one of the few who swapped out all OEM. it's the easiest way, but definitely not the cheapest. i don't do cheap. i do ROI.
