    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people put on a snorkel, and some put on a flag grill with a skull and two crossed ARs with Raptor lights. Each his own :) And some people drive around town with a god-awful set of antlers and a red nose on their truck.

    I like my snorkel and haven’t even used it for anything remotely what it’s designed for. Yet.

    Truck stuff
    I think the 3rd gen snorkel is pretty hideous in pics. I saw @17taco4x4's truck last weekend and thought it looked better in person.
    I understand the need for some to have them and I will most likely add one to my truck but hope they come up with something thats a little better looking. If I do I will get one for dust as I dont really want to take my truck into water deep enough to need a snorkel. Theres way to many electronics I would worry about damaging. Also I want all the Mall Crawler/EAF points I can get to go with my trail pin strips, I mean Mall door dings.

    I think I just stumbled on an idea to help me retire early. I’ll design a really, really good looking Snorkel, maybe with ‘TRD’ on it, that is completely non-functional, but looks gnarly, and adheres with double-sided tape. Then you could get the cosmetic upgrade to your truck, without cutting holes, or having the thing be ugly because it’s a functional item.

    I’ll call it the “Bro-breather”.

    Thoughts?

    I used to think snorkels were ugly, till I hydrolocked my engine. Stock bumper, probably could do without. Aftermarket bumper, and like going through water, I would recommend.

    Careful with those, snorkels can cause stupidity.

    Honestly would probably make millions. People buy hood scoops on civics and people would buy snorkel for no reason too.

    I don't think it "causes " stupidity, maybe it brings out the stupidity that already exists :).

    Way back in high school I worked in an auto parts store. We sold fake car-phone antennas (yeah I’m old). Anyways they were these little metal curly-cue antennas that stuck on with double-sided tape to make it look like you had a car-phone in your car. Anyways.....they sold like hot-cakes. Couldn’t keep them in stock. Go figure.
