Has anyone tried this hood scoop?

Has anyone ever tried purchasing this hood for an 05 Taco? Im looking to buy a Tacoma, but its cheaper and easier to find it without the hood scoop. I want to replace it after purchase.

It not a stick on scoop its the oem hood w/a scoop. What iam trying to figure out is what is a "capa certified". To the OP welcome to TW

 

for under $100 bucks I say go for it. Have it paint matched then show it off. As far as Capa certified:

Thanks JT!! My thoughts the same Thomas. I can't wait to get a Tacoma and post it here.

 

Look for the CAPA Seal!
The Certified Automotive Parts Association (CAPA) is a non-profit organization established in 1987 to develop and oversee a test program guaranteeing the suitability and quality of automotive parts.

 

Thanks! Makes me wonder though why more people don't do it, and rather search to trade their hood...

 

I saw some dude on here with a black carbon fiber scooped hood that looked sic!!! He had a SWB Taco...

 

great find. now im thinking of getting one with a hood scoop. This one looks cut out though?? not sure from the pictures. out of curiosity what would one have to do to make it functional? just fiberglass and resin a channel from the scoop over the air box?

 

Looks like the stock hood to me, just doesn't have the scoop insert in it.

 

Dont get it... seen a guy that got it installed on his truck. It didnt fit right.

But then again you get what you pay for.

 

i got the replacement hood and painted it. looks perfect

 

was your with a hood scoop? Any pic's?

 

yea my hood was with the scoop. the second link on that website the op posted.

with a good paintjob theres no difference.

 

oh damn that looks good! what would it cost to get that painted? im not painting gifted

 

oh shit they get you with shipping, 213 delivered...thats still better than the stearlerships cost

 

prob 250-400 depending on the shop.

i paid 300

 

so 500 would be the total cost ehh idk lol

do you think it was worth it?

 

I was looking at doing this also but my truck is an 06 and I figured If I Had the hood painted it would make the rest of the trucks original paint look bad so I decided against this. I dont feel like having the entire truck painted for the scoop.

 

yes way worth it. i picked it up so it didnt cost me much

they paint the fenders too...

so u cant tell its been painted AFTER btw.

 

^ so you paid 300 for the hood and fenders to be painted?
