Poll: How much is your scooped hood worth to you?

[Rogue-Runner]

I'm just getting a feel here. For all you scooped hood owners, if a local, non-scooped T4R owner offered you $500 to swap hoods (same color, obvs), would you do it?

Edit: One thing to consider is most T4R owners aren't forum members/enthusiasts, so a poll taken of all 4R owners who would be down may be higher than it would be on this forum. Maybe...

We have a thread on this board of those that are interested in swapping hoods.

Hood Swap

A great guy / gal would even swap at no charge.


As much as I hate my hood scoop, I'd get it wrapped before trading it.

For me, since the scoop is not functional, aesthetic only, I don't care one way or the other.
Similarly, think a snorkle is ugly but serves a purpose. It's on my list.

I put matte black vinyl on mine to kill the glare. I would not care either way.

My scooped TRDP hood shows the world that my ride is dominant and superior to all T4R’s without it.

I’m not sure I could put a price on that.

Does the vinyl work for killing the glare?

Did my white 2017 TEP with 3m matte black and it helped a bit, but did not stop the horrible glare or reflection, I could be wrong but I think the angle of the rear of the scoop is to blame.

Bottle of Weller 12 and a scoop-less hood and it’s yours.

I know it's pure vanity but the hood scoop was a mandatory requirement when I bought my 4Runner last month. I had an 05 Tacoma with the scoop and the front ends just don't look right to me without it. In all those years of driving my Tacoma I never experienced any glare.

I would not trade my scoop for anything. Absolutely love it even if its not functional

Hood Scoop alone was worth the whole price difference between the SR5 and the Trail, would never trade it. Have always wanted a 4Runner with a hood scoop since the 97' Limited my family owned and took us camping all over.

I wouldn't mind a hood scoop, but I'm not sure I could handle all the increased horsepower and torque from adding "THE power adder uber alles"

:becky:

 

[Ogre75]

This guy knows the power of the scoop!

Thanks for the responses. For my wife, a 3rd row was a necessary condition for buying our 4R. We've used it maybe twice to bring a snot-nosed cousin over to play. It's a sore spot in our marriage, and we don't bring it up at dinner

Next white 4R w/ scooped hood I see in town is getting propositioned. Not that kind of propositioned though...
