Wanted: 3rd Gen Sport Hood Millennium Silver

[1986Runner]

I am looking for a 3rd gen Toyota 4Runner sport hood (the one with the scoop) in Millennium Silver in very nice shape. I want to swap out the flat one on my 99 4Runner. Let me know what you have. Only interested in Millennium Silver in very nice shape please as I'm not able to swing getting it painted right now. I'm in Santa Rosa, CA (north Bay Area). Let me know how much you want for it, your location, and any pictures. I would consider trading hoods too, if someone has a sport hood but wants the flat instead.

Thanks!

You'll have much better luck buying the hood from Ceritifit ($90), the scoop parts from Toyota ($125), and having it painted ($150ish). Many people have gone the route, and I've yet to see someone just offer one up for sale.

Agreed, you can have it done for about $300-$350. I think that is about what I paid.

Bear in mind not everyone is OK with cheap ill-fitting aftermarket parts. I would never bolt a cheap Taiwan aftermarket replacement part on my 4Runner. Fitment is terrible with Taiwan parts, and I want the lines to be precise and crisp if I am spending hundreds on a hood.

And this experience of body panel fitment comes from what? It's a hood. On a 14 year old Toyota. Keep your stock hood if your worried about it. I can say no one looking at a 4runner with a scoop hood is gonna say. Um is that a Toyota hood or aftermarket. There just gonna see that it looks bad ass with a sport hood.

I don't need to get into a back and forth pissing match about who knows what about Toyotas and bodywork, nor do I need to provide my credentials. When I am looking at a vehicle to buy I absolutely care about fitment, finish, and low grade aftermarket parts. Same goes with my personal vehicles. I want it to be perfect. So don't say "no one"

I wasnt trying to be a jerk about anything man, dont get the wrong idea. I hope that you find what you are looking for, you ever use searchtempest? that is where i look when i want to find something specific, it searches all of the craigslist ads. you may be able to find a 4runner that has been wrecked that you can get the hood off of.

Well then I guess you won't be getting one from Certifit. However, if you ask one of close to 10 people in the 3rd gen forum with a hood from Certifit, they are happy with their purchase. It is a common questions asked, and a common suggestion offered.

I gave the OP another option, as he doesn't seem to be finding anything OEM. If you've never used this product for this specific reason, then you have absolutely nothing to offer.
I've seen pics of the hood as well as in person, and you cannot tell a difference in OEM vs Certifit hoods.
To the OP, I would look into the options I mentioned. Read through some threads, there are more than a few who have used the Certifit hood. There are a lot of pics, showing the fitment is good, and the price is well worth it.

 

[DeathCougar]

What I have to offer is knowledge and experience that OEM parts fit better than Aftermarket hoods, as well as being built better, lasting longer, without issues like flexing panels or ribs coming apart. I have seen this happen in person, and have personal experience with it.

Again, I don't need to list out my credentials. Take it however you wish. If you guys are happy supporting Taiwan parts, more power to you.

No need to further this discussion and cloud up the OP's sale thread.

Cheers
