    Stick on hood scoop from Autozone.
    Not my favorite, but I don't hate it.

    By glare, I'm assuming you mean from the scoop? If so, why not go with a Shelby-esque flat black wide stripe down the center of the truck? Has anyone done this?

    I don't get this whole issue with glare. Does nobody wear sunglasses, or is it because mine's black?

    Above a certain acreage, it may be more efficient to use wrap instead of plastidip.

    Like I said in a previous post. IF you haven't driven a SUPER WHITE, with a hood scoop, into the sun you can't relate. It's is more than blinding. This is with sunglasses, visor, hand, etc. You have to stick your head out of the window sometimes. It's actually dangerous. Nothing short of a welder's glass will cut the glare.

    Sweet! I know this is NOT an ORIGINAL idea. Is yours paint or vinyl???

    I used 2 can. But it was just a test. I'm going to pull it off for a better application.

    That doesn't look bad...but not sure if I prefer it. Gonna have to look at it more. Thanks for doctoring the image for me.

    EXACTLY. That is my plan. However the scoop may add complications. Gotta find a place that wraps and have them do it.
