    I happen to like to look of mine. I know it serves no function and I know there's people out there who hate the look. It's MY opinion what I like and it's THEIR opinion what they think looks stupid. I don't give a flying fuck what they think about MY truck. As long as I like it, is all that matters.

    I have never seen glare from my hood scoop. I don't even notice it being there until I walk up to the truck and see it and think, I like the way it looks. The same reason people buy new rims.

    ^ Good post! It really doesn't matter, as long as your happy. Alot of the stuff for our trucks is for looks, and it all comes down to personal preferance. Some don't like hood scoops but like bull bars. Some like white letters out, other's like them in. Some like the color red, and some like black. If every one of our truck's looked the same it would get pretty boring around here.

    Look around Phx, You'll even see minivans with chrome rims!

    I think it's funny. It's how to tell up north the Phoenicians from the locals. :D

    Personally I'd like the Off road with the color matching and scoop from the sport, best of both worlds. I may try to find the off road instead of the sport so I can do that, expensive way to go though...

    Also, if there is a glare issue, find some of that vinyl in a matte or carbon look and cover the scoop back to the edge of the hood. It would look kind of cool maybe, depending on what color truck you have.
    Just a constructive thought.
