    I'm in SoCal, looking to trade the Sport (scoop) hood from my 2015 Pyrite Mica for a non-scooped version of similar age and condition. I may be making a trip out to the Phoenix area late in September and was curious if any Phoenix locals were looking for a swap. PM me if interested.

    Thanks!

    Assuming my trip comes together and it's not too much of a PITA for me to take possession of your hood here in SoCal for transit I'd be willing to consider it. I'm a nice guy but not willing to drive hours to pick up your hood before driving hours to pick up mine. :) I'm near San Diego, where is your hood located?

    I'll keep your contact info and PM as I get more info on my trip. Thanks.

    Appreciate it. The hood is just outside San Diego. Seller is willing to meet up.

    Carlsbad. Literally 30 minutes north and seller will meet half. So that's 15 minutes. Keep me in the loop. Greatly appreciated just for considering

    Naw it's not really 15 minutes - my kids and seller's kids probably go to the same schools; I'm also in Carlsbad.

    I may not know for a week or two about my trip but will keep you in the loop and you're welcome to check in with me if you haven't heard anything in the meantime.

    I would think about the swap, however mine is on an 09 excellent condition.

    I might be interested. Have a 2012. My initial concern would be the color match. After all my truck has spent more than a little time in the sun...

    Thanks for the interest. Once I can confirm my trip we can start swapping details. If we end up making arrangements and the color doesn't match to my or your satisfaction, we'll shake hands and wish each other well.

    Still have it but my Phoenix trip didn't come together as planned. Looking to see if I can still pull it off next month, or maybe meet one of you halfway somewhere.

    As an aside, looks like you have a silver Tacoma - I'm looking for a Pyrite Mica hood so I don't have to paint it.

    Didn't realize you had a list going. I had corresponded with him in the past.

    Sorry for the long delay on my side. My trip plans never came together, but I have two upcoming trips on the schedule - Tuscon at the end of the year (probable) and Phoenix in mid-January (virtually a guarantee). If you're still interested in trading your non-scoop 12-15 Pyrite Mica hood for my scoop Pyrite Mica hood, shoot me a PM.

    As Martimus suggested, color match will be a concern so we'll have to figure out an approach to ensure we're both happy with the results. I welcome your suggestions on how we can address that in the PM as well.

    Thanks for the interest.

    Ok, looks like I'll be coming into town Friday evening 1/13, returning to San Diego on Sunday morning. I'd plan to meet up Friday night or Saturday AM (Saturday PM is not an option)

    We'll be staying near Arizona Mills so we could meet in the south end of that parking lot for the swap.

    Martimus is first on the list, if he can't make it or is no longer interested, zonataco is second. Both the swap-er and the swap-ee will want to be comfortable that the donor hood is a match in terms of both color and condition, so there's always a chance this could go to the second, third, or fourth person in the list.

    Waiting to hear back from zonataco as he's now first on the list. If anyone else is interested please shoot me a PM in the event he changes his mind or can't meet up while I'm in town. Thanks!
