    I've noticed a few clear coat bubbles on the scoop on my 2016 TRD Sport. I wax the truck a few times a year and the rest of the trucks looks perfect (except for some rock chips). The scoop comes off easily.
    Looking for suggestions. Is this a DIY fix or do I need to take the scoop to a body shop?

    If you want it to look like it did, it's a body shop job.
    Maybe someone can do a digital mockup of what a matt wrap just on the fake scoop would look like?

    Go to your best-reviewed body shop and ask them for a cash price to respray the scoop.

    I'll take it over to a local shop and get an estimate. Thank you!
