    I'm not getting it, I drove my Silver Sky Metallic '18 TRD Sport today (just washed/waxed Sunday and she's gleaming) about 180 miles in the bright sunlight no problem even without my Ray-bans. :confused:
    Hope you guys never encounter a real problem.

    Hey OP, there's a member on the forums that sells pre-cut quality vinyl for the hood scoops. I believe his name is
    CBoy80 There's a whole thread about it. I can't personally vouch about his product since I didn't buy one yet, but from what I read everyone that has loves it.

    Are they flexible and return to position. Lotsa snow here and when stuck and rocking back and forth, the old rubber floppy ones would get tore off by the tire. Not my current truck, just trucks over the years with floppy flaps...

    Thanks
    Do not have a hood scoop. Im talking about the concave area of the hood that slopes down towards the windshied.

    I never understood this complaint. Black scewp/concave hood thingy since 2013 and never once thought "damn, this reflection is thread worthy."

    I know what you mean, my 1st Gen OEM ones were stiff when they got icy. I havent tried these in very cold below 30 degree freezing weather, but they took me kicking them lightly to get the ice off, and do really well and flex in the desert heat.

    Maybe you have shark eyes (that protective membrane), or maybe its my lattitude and sun angle.

    Had this done about a month ago. Hard to see but I had a company add a matte Black hood graphic and clear bra the front in. Helps tons.
