Pre-painted Mr. Hood Scoop HS009 on Ebay

Has anyone bought one of these painted hood scoops or what do the guys looking for a hood scoop think?

The chances of finding a trade are about 1,000,000 to 1 I'm finding.

I know they aren't a OEM TRD Sport hood so please no comments pertaining to that!

They are less than $300 compared to buying a $600 OEM hood and having it painted for about $400-600.

Just curious as to what you guys think....Is it worth it?

Edit: Thanks @manofsteele2003 I forgot the painted link...

Doesn't look to bad I guess. I'd have to see it in person to make a proper judgement though.

 

No - my truck already has a Skewp! FTMFW

 

Nice ups truck

 

To scoop up the parcels.

 

held down by a 3m tape !!!

 

Just curious....What would you use that would hold it on your hood any better?

 

A replacement hood with a built in nonfunctional scoop so that your truck doesn't look like it came from the Pep-Boys custom shop.

 

someone needs to mount this scoop on top of the factory scoop for the ultimate look.

 

Don't forget the autozone vents and racing stripes.

 

thats a given for sure!

 

I LOVE my Mr Hood Scoop, 3 !/2 years on since my truck was new, ,Put on 1 month after bought on showroom floor w/ 7 miles on her, Painted same color exactly , Cleaned hood with alchohol on traced ot lines 2 inch wide, added activator for 3 M tape on hood and scoop both sides as to clean and prep stickiness, drilled 2 holes for studs towards front for nuts and lined up perfectly attached and stuck to hood with tape and activator,Nuts on frt 2 studs and added 3M weather strip glue under front hood inlet cover for extra bondin and has not worn ,moved ,lifted and looks like Old School and many likes at all Car and Truck Shows ! I Love Mine, the best,better than OEM !

 

I'm glad you like your truck. To each their own.

 

I think both of those look awesome....

 

As with everything, some people will like it and some people won't.

 

Will it fix my hood vibration?

 

I haven't experienced any hood vibrations, so perhaps? Can't say that I had any issues pre-installation either though.

 

He's got a couple models for the Tacoma. Which one is this? I ask because it looks great!

 

I think a lot of people hate on these because you've found a way to get the same look for a heap cheaper. The one that come from the factory's only purpose is aesthetics. The one from Mr. Scoops only purpose is aesthetics. With that being said...I'd probably pay a few extra bucks to have one that is on the hood seemlessly, but not for the price they are asking from the dealer.

 

Fake news, and now fake scoops.
