Wrapped My TRD Pro Hood - Matte Black

[Ridin4Runner]

Not much to say, either ya like it or your don't.
Though, funny story on day one. I had it just put on and ran an errand. I got out of my truck as an older man with a cain, definitely in his high 70's to 80's years got out of his car in front of me. As I was walking by him he said "nice machine"! Best compliment ever given his age and not being the typical youth who generally compliments my ride.

I'm about to wrap my trail. How was the scoop to wrap?

 

[Shocks]

Looks good. Are you going to continue the wrap on the roof and the trunk or leave it as is?

 

[Ridin4Runner]

I am an admitted perfectionist (not a good trait). Knowing this, I paid to have this done. To your point, the scoop made me hesitant to get "perfect" on my own.

Very nice!

I have my hood wrapped too. I was going to do the same thing you did, but the wrap guy had a smaller piece of scrap and said he'd use that for free, so instead I just did from the scoop straight back. Still love it though.

the vehicle wrap material is pretty forgiving a heat gun or propane torch will help with flexibility of the product. it can be peeled off and re stuck if you mess up . Nice job on the pro i like it. my friend has a black camaro and he put a flat black stripe down the center of the hood it looks good too.

I like it....looks great.

Looks good. I plan on getting my roof done when I get my Gobi Rack so I don't have to worry about it as much when I wash it.

very nice I have been kicking it around not sure yet but I have a grey trail and want to do a lighter metallic grey stripe up and over the 4runner just trying to figure out the right color. a good friend of mine owns a shop that does signs and wraps on cars so I know I can get a good price but I think I will come up with a good design first maybe a trd logo cut out on the hood.

Looks good! That's pretty much how I wrapped mine except the scoop insert is dipped because the vinyl shop said the scoop had too many tight curves in it.

Sorry. The 80 year old dude was blind.

It just looks so off to me as far aesthetics, I am worried I'll see it on /r/shittycarmods on Reddit.

Truck is great o/wise.

That looks fantastic! You did the roof as well? Nice.

No expert on curves and vinyl. Mine is all vinyl. Love the look! Post a pic of yours, would love to see.

I am on a few different forums, one for over 10 years. I'm not a newb.
I have no issue with you not liking it and posting that sediment. But your approach is craptastic. The nicest way I can "say suck it" when you are porously being an ass. Cheers.

Here it is. Contemplating continuing the vinyl on the roof as well.

I used dupli-color Carbon black removable paint on mine. Then red pinstriped the paint line edges.

 

[D1gger]

I like it. It has a 69-70 Mach 1 feel to it.

Can you post another picture directly in the center line a bit from above, showing the hood, with the scoop, and the front bumper. I was thinking about doing the hood and lower portion of my 2016 TE but was hesitant a bit. Did you follow the hood lines on each side?

Thanks.

First off, it's "sentiment".
Second, porously is not a word.
Third, don't get all butt hurt. You yourself said "You either like it or hate it". I hate it.
Forth, its say "suck it" not "say suck it".

Sorry to offend your delicate sensibilities but it looks like something I would expect to see on a Dodge Neon in a high school parking lot. Maybe on a darker vehicle but on the white it just looks like gaudy and craptastic.

Get yourself one of those "Piss On Nissan" decals for the back window and slap a bunch of TRD stickers all over it and you are good to go.

Cheers.
