4Runner Hood Scoop
Has anyone bought an aftermarket 4Runner hood w/ scoop (99-02) and had problems with fitment? My concern is that if I buy the cheaper aftermarket hood, it might not fit as well as a hood from the dealership. Any help or advice is appreciated.

A VIS carbon friber hood runs about $450 a piese. Sometimes you can find one on Ebay for $399+ shipping. It looks really cool and much lighter than factory hood and the fitment is very good!

Oh boy...Is VIS the only one? I dont want to put a VIS piece on my truck. Ive heard WAY too much horor stories about them not fitting right, and the latches suck. Heck, the one I got for my cousin's IS300 was WAY off...
On the other hand, anytime you go A-market hood, you should have Hood Pins. I like to have 6, 4 in the front, and 2 in the back near the hinge...

So,what's the price on the CF Runner hoods w/scoop?
I had a CF hood on my Eclipse which was about $550 shipped and the weight savings was about 23lbs. (39lbs stock hood vs 16lbs for the CF)

i ordered one from racerwheel.com back in aug. for $560 including shipping ($399-$20 discount). They barely just shipped it out this week should come friday The actual hood doesnt cost much its the shipping that kills you. I just found out that prostreetonline is selling them for $521 (free shipping). Will post pics...
