Anyone else bothered by sunlight bouncing off the hood scoop?

I have a scooped hood on my '09 TRD and driving into the rising or setting sun is a complete pain in the "eyes."

Thinking about shooting the scoop with a flat black (like the '70's MOPARS) to cut down on the glare. Anyone else do something like this? I'd like to see photos if you have any.

Thanks,

Ray

 

skewp problems

But I have heard that sun bounces off the scoop quite a bit around here, you can always sell if and put a few bucks in your pocket if your not die-hard on having a scoop in the first place.

 

I found it really distracting at first but then I stopped noticing. Perhaps give it a little bit and see if it goes away?

 

If bothered by the look of the scoop in general.

 

I'm sure someone will trade you straight up in a heartbeat.

 

Skewps FTW!

 

Eventually I plan on wrapping part of my hood in matte black vinyl

Here is my horrible photoshop

same here you get used to it,i couldn't stand it when i first got the truck ,now its oh theres that glare ,no big E

 

I will Photoshop the crap out of anything. Let me at it!
That goes for anyone. Send 'em pictures over.

Also, I like the concept. Nice WWII aircraft style inception.

 

I've had the truck for 9-months now and, due to about 22+ years of working graveyards, am light sensitive to glare. I also seem to drive east in the mornings and west in the evenings which just exacerbates the problem. The flat black vinyl wrap looks like a good idea to see how well the concept works. May have to give that a try.

I only have issues in certain parts of the day/evening time. Once I put on the sunglasses, everything is good again. No way, no how I am not giving up my skewp.

 

Yes, it is a problem at times.

PK

 

No issues. Sunglasses.

Gotcha.....I 'd be a lot more inclined to go with the matte black adhesive before painting. Same effect but removeable if you ever sold.

 

The Sockmonkey sells a flat black skewp decal. Just the skewp top. it looks pretty good.

 

You know this is ironic. The morning after I posted this, my sunglasses dropped and broke. So now if I have the glare from the skewp, I'm kind of fubared until I get another pair.

 

Problem solved?

And they look cool!! I am giving serious thought to one -- although not a huge problem it does fit in with an oveall "vision."

Enjoy!!!!

 

i don't have a scoop

i'd go with sock monkey's decal

 

problem solved....harley davidson matte black...it follows the hood contour and wraps around the base of the A-pillars...any comments?
