Hood is too shiny

The black area on my hood is too shiny. Note the area reflecting the buildings.

Does someone make a precut sticker that is less reflective?

 

There's a million hood vinyl decals on Amazon and etsy. Or you could go fancy and get a solar panel from cascadia

 

Yes. Search Etsy for Tacoma hood decal.

 

Clear Plasti Dip.

 

TRD matt black vinyl is easy to put on and it looks great

 

@CBoy808 used to make custom vinyl stickers, could ask him.

 

Leave your truck dirty!!!!!

 

It's a TRD Pro. I have matt black sticker but it doesn't seem much different than just having gloss paint. I'm hoping to find something less reflective.

 

I'm not surprised that you mentioned someone with an 808 username. Here are the Google trends results for "Vinyl Stickers"

 

Here is my pro....not a great pic but you get the idea. Surprised it doesn't make a difference for u

 

No issues with mine.


I also don't have a scoop to block my view either.

 

you could buff out the shine with some sandpaper

 

You think your truck is too shiny? Do you also think it is too fast?

TBQH, I kind of wish I could have ordered my taco with a non gloss non clear coat paint or powder coat, because my paint is all scratched up after only 2 years. I even have had to repair it in two places because bare metal was exposed.

 

Where can I pick this up at, few years ago I got one just like it from a member but I cant remember their name.

 

The original hood vinyl came from this thread but I'm not sure he still does it.

Or you might have better luck with this guy, he's still doing them and is also a member here. His products are outstanding.

That is odd, mine has a scewp and I have zero issues seeing with it.
