2016 silver Tacoma hood swap (Phoenix)

hey guys, I have a 2016 silver trd sport. Looking to trade my scooped hood for one without the scoop. The longer I have the truck the more I realize that the scoop just isn’t my style. I’m in the Phoenix area so hit me up if interested

 

I’m guessing you’ll find someone for this!! I’d probably do it if it where white and you were close to me.

 

I hope so. It’ll be a lot cheaper than buying a new one lol

 

Slow close, but I need a white one...

 

Make sure you take off the optional panty catcher can also. You won't be getting anymore thrown at you

 

This is gonna make someone’s Christmas

 

If you wanted you can probably get $400-500 on top of your hood swap. Just FYI.

 

Oh really? I didn’t realize that. I figured it’d be a pretty fair trade since the hood scoop isn’t functional and just a design feature

 

Yeah the going rate is the non-scooped hood + $400-500. It's largely because the ratio of non-scoops looking to trade for a scoop vs the opposite is like 100:1. lol

Obviously condition does come into play, though.

It's supply and demand, not functionality.

 

Not functional? Whaa? My adds temporary invincibility and tighter turning radius.

 

Some people will add some cash to the deal. Just keep in mind your hood is a few years old. You might find someone with a brand new truck or one that’s not very old. Paint may be in better condition.

Also another thing to keep in mind is fading. A new hood on your truck or your old one on a new truck may be a shade or two off.

 

Haha that’s true. Maybe I should keep it

 

Here is the hood swap thread, btw...

That’s a good point. It might be harder than I thought to get a good match. Although it’s only 3 years old but the Phoenix sun can do some damage in the summer

 

Not even,ask for at least $200 in cash plus the other guys hood.There are thousands of guys that want the scooped version,nobody but you wants a non scooped.There is a 100 plus page thread here on TW for Scooped version wanted.

 

Keep it,your resale value will take a hit if you ever decide to sell your truck without the scooped hood,yes its that big of a deal.

 

Before you trade your hood, have you looked into trading (or selling) your Sport for a SR5? Might be able to get a good deal this time of year on 2018 a dealer wants to move. Yes, you could look at an Off Road 2019, but I was thinking of a way to get a flat hood and a financially good deal.

 

It has function......as an insect catcher.
I'm in Queen Creek. A few of my neighbors have Taco's.I'll be on the lookout for some silvers and leave notes on their windshields.

 

I see your username contains Utah.. do you come up this way at all or no?

 

Also curious if you're in Utah at all...I'm down to trade.
