Hood scoop, lame or fab?

    Sooo...you hit a tree and didn't get it fixed? That's about as mean as a Tacoma can get. Battered and bruised.
    Many of them look like big RC trucks without the big box and cellophane with the "push this button" peaking through

    I guess it's ok, but I would really like it if it was functional. I hate to tell people when they ask me about that it's a fake one.

    Off topic , but can I add Atrac to my Sport? I really think I should have added that option from the dealership when I got my truck .

    scoop or not, its a TACOMA and i love my truck so regardless i will always be a proud owner of one...despite mines a sport prerunner....

    i like the scoop. granted i would have preferred a rear locker for those just in case situations but i needed bed space and a double cab

    Agree...this one will never see the dirt like my last one in the 90's Its more utilitarian than for sport. But I like the look of the TRD package so I got it. The ride is pretty soft for a truck though. I don;t remember my 92 4x4 being this soft. Not sure I would take this one where i took that one. That truck was smaller and could fit in tighter spots.

    I have a Sport & didn't vote in the poll. If the truck didn't have the scoop I wouldn't have cared when I bought it. Still don't care if it's on the truck.

    I am enjoying the pissing match between some of you though :D

    Yea.. I have a bit of trouble with acting on a whim. Got all wound up about swapping hoods. 5 days later.. I'm back to eh.. whatever.
    Still like the flat hood. But status quo has its benefits.
