Hard time seeing over the hood, looking for a scoop delete

2021 Sport

My wife is not a tall person, and I find the non-functional hood scoop annoying in several ways.
(non-functional?)

I removed the scoop element to "see how it looks", and am fine without the scoop, but would like to fill the gap.

I did an internet search for "Taco hood scoop delete" and got a few hits on this forum, but no reference to filler panels.

Has anyone seen such a thing?

NB
I've considered the "swap hoods" route, but I have put on hood lifts, and swapping just seems like a PIA.

 

A hood swap would be easier I think then a clean delete. And I bet you could find someone very willing to swap a paint matched hood for one with a scoop. Good luck with it

 

Swap

 

Swapping hoods is incredibly easy, just 4 bolts.

Plus you will actually make money doing it.

I got a flat hood and $250 for my scooped hood, and it only took 10 minutes to swap the hoods.

 

What color truck u have and location?

 

Is $$$ worth the PITA? If you’re in a populated area, it’s definitely something I’d suggest as I’ve never seen a delete kit for sale.
Find somebody and disclose that you’ll have to drill out the rivets for the struts (I’m assuming. If they bolt on just do it!), or include them and buy another set for your new flat hood.
I’ve seen scoops go for crazy amounts on the swappin’ and tradin’ thread.
The only one I could find up here wasn’t the same color and getting it wrapped/painted is more hassle than my disdain for for the scoop, otherwise I would have been all over it.

When I first got my '21 Sport, my reaction to the scooped hood was the same as the OP's. But I got over it. For one thing, the scooped hood is more rigid, and doesn't vibrate at highway speeds. And the visibility problem can be mitigated by some judicious adjustment of the driver's seat. The truck does look better externally with the scooped hood.

Just removing the scoop itself won't solve the problem, because the whole hood has a hump. If you want to get rid of the scoop, the only way is a complete hood swap.

 

please be a cement hood

And somewhere in the pnw

 

What? Delete the scoop and lose the extra 25 HP?

 

A price I'm willing to pay! ;-)

 

Other side, other color. sorry.

 

yep! pretty much describes it.

 

Black and on East Coast maybe?

 

Barca RED, S.Vt.

 

so close but not quite

 

oof if it were white I'd come swap this weekend.... I'm in north western mass

 

hey hey, I want it too

 

Swap the wife

Keep the hood

Cheers

 

I found a guy with a OR same color as my Sport to swap hoods. Love being able to see, and my short wife really likes it,.
