*Feeler* possible group buy on scooped hoods!!!

Too much for me, thanks for looking into this though.

 

yeah I'm out as well... Thanks tho

 

thanks for the efforts OP...

 

Thanks for the effort.

 

this

 

I know it has been a while but I finally got the hood installed last night. My uncle had it at the shop since the day I bought it we finally had time to paint it. I went with semi gloss black with white insert. before I ran out of day light and had not installed the insert

 

any status updates on this? i would be interested.

 

It fell apart. Nobody wanted in.

 

bummer

 

I called several dealers and all of them told me the scooped hood was not available -- this has to be wrong! What happens if I wrecked my TRD sport with scooped hood; could I not order another one from the stealership? WTF, anyone know where i can get a scooped hood? I want to trade my TRD sport for a TRD Offroad 4X4 and merely want the scoop on it....

 

Look at rock auto, keystone parts, lkq is where this one came from.

 

Group buy price was only $48 less than Camelback for genuine Toyota.
It was a good try but with the vendor and Autozone both getting markup....

The thread did not surprise me at all though. When first posted, I knew there would be 30+ people interested, and even if the final price was only $200, only 10 would have actually come through. That's the nature of group buys, and the more expensive the item, the worse it is to try to hold it together.

Everybody wants a scooped hood... but they aren't even willing to add $200 on top of their stock hood to trade with someone who has one that's already painted and has the inserts.

 

Pretty much at least I got my hood haha

 

Yup....

$115 for the scooped hood, $110 without the scoop for '05-'11
$131 for the scooped hood, $128 without the scoop for '12+

Rock is not listing the scoop insert parts, just the hood.

 

Not necessarily true. I would gladly pay someone 200 and my stock hood. If theirs was in as good as shape as mine.

 

We've got a scooped/non-scooped trade thread that's been going for a couple of years.

Only a couple of successful trades, and much butthurt when someone wants a few bucks extra for their scooped hood.

 

Yeah I know I am on it. Just no one offering up a super white scooped hood.

 

I actually like te look of my matte black hood on white body

 

It may be for you but not my style.

Hell if I could find someone in the area to paint the hood. I can get a hood locally for 200.00 and even less on ebay. Its the damn insert that is so much.

 

I know what you mean. My insert ran 130 for all 3 pieces
