To paint hood...or leave it black?

just need the lower lip kit. jk

 

X2 on the painting it and leaving the scoop black. I was thinking about getting a carbon fiber hood to go with my black n white theme but most people though it would look to ricey and I agreed so I just kept it white.

 

I was wondering what a black hood on silver would look like. I like it, but not sure Id leave it maybe for awhile. Has anyone seen a silver hood black scoop, might be interesting?

 

as soon as i save up the extra money, i will be painting the hood silver and leaving the scoop insert black.

 

Paint it. Then after you're done, add some flare to it. Either a decal or pin strips to be different than the others. I'm still working on ideas for mine. I so know what you mean, but honestly the hood needs to be painted and soon if you are going to leave the untreated OEM hood on for looks. My fear is you'll ruin the finish before its painted.

 

X2, And where'd ya get it from

 

If you leave it black you should paint it with actual black paint. The finish on it now is probably some sort of primer/sealer versus a paint which means it'll eventually rust.

 

thanks man. hopefully leaving the black scoop insert, (looks as if the orig owner bought a BSP insert. it is actually painted black) will be enough to set me aside from the other silver scoops i see driving down the road.

awesome deal on CL. found a dude who bought it brand new(toyota hood and scoop slide/insert) let it sit boxed in his garage for 3 years and never had it installed or painted. he recently sold his truck and sold me this hood for a good price everything was still in the original toyota factory packages. and i was gonna go with a certifit..

the hood will be painted silver, the scoop insert is actually painted...i am guessing BSP. looks like the glossy black. Looking on TRDparts4u the scoop inserts come painted so now i am 99% sure the old owner had a BSP tacoma, or atleast ordered a BSP scoop insert.
thanks man

 

That sir will look the best...can't wait to see pics of the finished product!

 

thanks man. will let you know when i do it

Dayyyyum, nice find man! Don't forget to post pics when you get it painted.

 

Will do man
i am looking at your av pic...your quote under it, then your screen name. rep to you for making me laugh today

 

It could look good in black, but IMO in order to get it done right you would have to paint the roof of the truck black also.... and that looks more like a race car... but it looks good though

 

you got your truck! congrats man

 

Hahaha no problemo man thanks for the rep

 

leave scoop black or racing stripes in a v shape

 

my buddy tried talking me into vaving the roof vinyl'd black... i dunno...would be diff but would probably appeal to the tuner crowd....unwanted friends lol

 

somethin like this...


sorry it's dirty...
