    Wife has a Cavalry Blue DCSB Sport premium (with scoop) and I have a black AC off-road. (no scoop)

    She gets way more waves, smiles, and whistles than I do.

    I think it’s because of the scoop, and not the blue eyes and long blond hair.

    My 2013 Sport had one. Only time I thought about it was when the sun was bouncing off of it into my eyes. It was a dark green truck and I had to paint the thing flat black. I've had 3 Tacoma's since and I never procured another one with that scoop. Seemed to me a little extra effort was required to get the crud outta it to.

    That's why they come on the TRD Pro models as well.

    I personally wish my TRD Pro didn't have one, but meh -- whatever. I just made it functional by installing a small light bar inside of it.

    I looked at the logistics of making it truly functional, but my K&N Nighthawk cold air intake wouldn't really benefit from it. So I agree with the sentiment that it's kinda a silly design "feature".

    I don't know anything about fake beadlocks...

    All I know is, that non-functional Skewp is fine and dandy with me.

    Used to have a 19 TRD OR. Suffered from low self esteem. Now have a 23 Pro and miraculously great self confidence. Must be the scoop!

    Alright...here's one I found that is recent. Those Amber Raptor Lights are normally not that prominent.

    She needed a wash...and it had been raining.

    I was once scoopless and just meandering through, I got a pro and have now seen the light. My wife loves the scoop! She made me get the Pro because of the scoop, that's my story and I am sticking to it! Honestly I think the Tacoma looks great either way.

    Always good to pay attention to your wife.

    It's also good to listen to your mother. lol

    This debate continually trips me out but, whatever.
