Build my own matching hood with hood scoop?

Paint it inferno and I'll give you a couple bucks for it or trade you my scooped one.

Also, where in SE Michigan? Waterford here.

 

Rochester Hills

 

Why not get one ready for paint?
This one is functional ram air,..... nice. They do make non-functional as well.

This is just one site that carry's them...... I would look around before OEM parts and build then paint as it is time and money.
Just my thoughts, I would like to have a ram air intake option,.... or just block it off.

The underside,. see the air chamber opening to the air filter side of the Tacoma stock intake box

 

@EarthCruzn pretty snazzy....... But I've never really had good luck with fiberglass parts before unless it was OE. The fit is allllways "close" but not quite (I'm a sucker for panel fitment and clean gaps). Cool design on that hood though, semi functional intake and all, hadn't seen that.

 

Might be a nice fit, nice hood though.
This is the passenger view;

Toyota should be proud.

 

My buddy has a hood with louvers similar to that and we always giggle at him when runs outside with aluminum foil every time it rains so his intake and doesn't get wet

I actually prefer the more sealed design of the OEM hood as I just got done Formula 3000 spraying my truck, and inside of the hood being one of those parts. So having the OEM hood be a bit more sealed off than a louvered hood is preferrable to me as I'm going to be filling it up with rust prevention.

 

IIRC in the mid 60's Chrysler/Plymouth did some testing with hood scoops and found that unless scoops were at the very leading edge of the hood and of at least a particular size (like 2" x 20", but I don't remember exactly) they did not capture a lot of air. Supposedly most of it traveled over the hood...

 

Sorry but every time I hear the comment (panties dropper) I just shake my head. It has to be one of the dumbest comments to use especially in relation to a hood scoop…

 

If she'll drop her panties for a ride in a Taco w/a hood scoop you should consider seeking out a different class or smarter woman. Be sure to check that it isn't a tranny...

 

Huge waste of money, but you do you brother!

 

Funny, that's the same thing I told your parents.

 

Gross.

 

Does anyone know if the sport hood scoop leaks in the rain?

 

If it does, it is very little.

 

And if they were still alive, I am betting that they would agree with you!

 

Just a note for clarity that one scoop on one of the full size Cheby's is functional.

 

Yes sir on the Duramax it is. Friend of mine has one.

 

Why would that matter? It is right over the top side if the intake / valve covers. Everything is sealed and uses water tight connectors.

 

Thanks for the confirmation.
