    No lights pre-installed. This is the OEM plastic scoop with vents you see in the pictures.

    I want to carbon fiber my genitals. This way when I slap em on my wife’s chin or forehead, they’ll leave an indent.

    I think I'm going to start with an OEM hood Scoop first, then if they are popular do an entire hood. RK sport is the only composite hood I have found for the Tacoma but only available in fiberglass and it has an integrated scoop(I like the removable OEM one better)

    Can't remove/replace the pillars on the Tacoma. Tufskinz makes real CF pieces that go over them though. I think they look good even though they don't really reduce weight. :D

    I'd be interested in a CF hood scoop for sure!

    Just a note that I cut the rear section off of my skewp (unpainted underside) to make it functional. Stock, I was getting car wash soap and snow / slush splooshing on the windshield from the ends of the skewp. Opening up the underside made it functional and stopped the splooshing.

    I think I have a pic in the Today thread?

    Here it is:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-3rd-gen-today.399305/page-3480#post-16403145

    I do have touch up paint now, but still need to hit that clip with some.

    Those are full fenders tho. Think flares still be popular as well as a scoop.

    Wow, the fitment looks very tight. Do you have anything on the hood?

    I'd be in for fenders, interior bits and a hood but if they did produce a hood it would be nice to see a different style scoop than what comes on the sport/pro. Carbon looks good with the cement color

    I contacted RK sport about a year ago and said they would make me a carbon fiber version of the fiberglass one, but quoted about $1600-$1800 if I can remember. I'll have to see if I can find the email.

    That's why I didn't respond to the email from them. I was into the weight savings, didn't care if the scoop was there or not as I have an SR5 and kinda like the plain hood. But, either way I thought that was a ridiculous amount of money. I hope this works out. I'd be in for sure.
