    No front cam yet, I have the anytime cam kit just waiting on a new Demello front bumper so I don’t have to install it twice. Also have to install the meso lower switch panel so I have a place to put it.

    I do like the way those hoods look.

    I was on a hill in hermosa beach the other day that I had to look fucker headlights out the sides....pretty crazy.

    I went through the rigamarole of adding a scooped hood to my OR. Bought it from the dealer and took it to a body shop. I went low budget on the paint job and it showed in the final product. I then ended up having the scoop wrapped because there is extra glare with the scoop. The sun will hit it just right and annoy the shit out of you.

    Overall it was a pain the ass, but I still like the looks better, even if it doesn't have any functional purpose. You can save some coin if you don't get it painted but rather wrapped in matte black or something. Thats what I would have done if I could do it over again.

    This is the pattern I had done:

    Looks good! I have thought about wrapping my scoop just for looks. I wear polarized sunglasses, so glare has never been a concern to me.

    Interesting thought...but I didn't know base models had a rear locker and crawl control. If anything, I'd say OR's are more similar to a Pro, mechanically speaking, than a Sport is...

    Hard to find an OR premium (At least where I live), flat boring hood, unpainted fender flares, unpainted bumper caps, smaller wheels, also often found in boring base model colors (White, silver or black). Just this man's observation lol.

    Ha ha, I think you have the Spirt and the Off Road confused. I'm still not sure what makes the Sport a TRD...

    But ya, I'd take a Sport hood in a heartbeat!

    I'm not even bum hurt.... :D:D
