Hood scoop ???

victorye3 · 11-08-2007, 08:49 PM

How would it look and how hard would it be to add a hood scoop without buying a brand new hood with a hood scoop already on it? Would it look better since my truck is black?

i think that if u got a descent looking scoop and did it right....ie fiberglassing, welding, or however to smooth it all out, it would look pretty good.

i'm actually buying a cowl hood scoop that is a bolt-on design and painting it to match the truck. a bolt-on or stick-on scoop is the only way you'll avoid tearing apart your hood and molding the scoop into it. the stick-on ones kind of suck anyway, but either way you'll have to have it painted. i'd say check the prices of a bolt-on w/ paint and compare that to the price a scoop that can be molded on and having the whole hood painted

i was wanting to go with a bolt on scoop but i havent seen many people do it. I couldnt find any pics of hoods done that way.

yea not too many people do just because you have to drill into the hood and it will create rust problems later on, its best just to mold on and repaint

bolt on or stick on hood scoop are pretty lame if u ask me ...just get a factory one from certifit and get it painted

part #tytc05cb
$116.50

after remembering the rusting issue with the bolt-ons, i'm just going to have mine molded on. i'm actually doing a 3" cowl that is rounded off and follows the contours of the stock hood, should be sick when it's done

I was looking at the certifit website and saw the price of the hood with the scoop. How in the heck can they be so cheap? (~$150.00). Am i missing something??

It's not painted....

So, tell me again. What's the point of a scoop if it's not connected to your intake?

It looks badass as hell!!! I also like the way it looks from the cab. The first tacoma i test drove was a sport and i liked being able so see the scoop from inside.... i dont know why

victorye3 · 11-09-2007, 07:25 PM

I think it is mostly how the scoop looks that is why I want one. But still $116.50 still sounds to good to be true even not painted!

What do you think a quality paint job would run?
