    I think its pretty cool except for the fact you're basicly showing everyone that the scoop is fake by blocking the air intake. Yes I know most people know its fake but it is still cool knowing the feeling that it COULD be real!!!

    In that case I descided to do something fairly similiar with out blocking the mesh. I took some old IZOD stickers from when TRD was in Indy, and slapped it on the scoop! Hope you like it!

    Without sounding harsh, maybe take it to the next level and get some LED's like the guy that has them in his scoop and light that sucker up.

    Why would any of you bang on this guy? It's a mod that few have done and makes his truck different from all others.
    Here's the proper response:

    Hmmm, different, not my cup of tea, but if you like it, that's all that's important


    IMO, not something I would do, but I've never seen that so it's cool, like the idea of putting some leds behind it, that would be a trip

    I cut some wires here. Added some wires there.
    Sounds like somebody is just begging for some neutral rep:rofl:

    I like the idea of back lighting it. Like RAPR has all the green accent lighting on his truck. Something like that would look good.

    I like the sticker on the white taco too. Looks like something the factory would do to a special trd build.

    op great minds think alike, I did this bout a 1.5 yrs ago and think it looks great, nobody in my area @ the time I did this had it on here or on any taco that I have seen, I painted mine silver mica to match my truck and it looks great IMHO good job looks great on ur truck. On a side note what is this whole neutral rep thing, just wondering? that is all

    The led light install in the hood is super trick and makes tons of sense...actually has me thinking of getting a scoop just because of that.
