    Just wondering if anyone has looked into the possibility of swapping hoods on the new 2016 tacomas. I love the Sport, but I dont care for two things...the hood scoop and the grill.
    I have a white 4 door long bed. I wonder if the hoods are swappable? Anyone wanna figure it out. For that matter I would probably swap grills as well if anyone likes the silver ones

    thanks guys, I should have searched first and would have likely found the hood swap post...
    BTW, what is the deal with the sport hood... I guess folks just like the scooped hood look.
    I had no idea it was that popular. IT really takes away from the general viewing area of the truck.
    this Tacoma has the smallest view of any Tacomas ive driven... the scoup makes it even worse.
    also, it does nothing.... I guess looks are what being sporty is all about.

    I might be interested in this - what part of Cali or you in and does your hood have the sealant issues?
    I have a little over a 1000 on mine and no sealant/vibration problem

    just swapped hoods today. worked great. had to prime the hose for the windshield wiper fluid, but it was easy.
    there is a hood swap thread in the 3rd gen market place.
