It's a direct bolt on. It would be cheaper and better getting a Carbon fiber hood with the hoodscoop from VIS

Not neccesarily cheaper. If you find a hood with a scoop from like a junkyard you can easily save a few hundred dollars. You could also just buy the scoop, have it bonded to the original hood and then repainted.

You say buy a hood from VIS...do you have a web site for that?
Just finally went back to Toyota and I am so happy. Sold my 82 toy in 1994. Will never stray again.

No way to bond the hood scoop to an existing hood. The Toyota hood with scoop has a bulge pressed into the center of the hood that the scoop then bolts to. You'd have to get a Toyota hood or the cool one from VIS. I added the hood with scoop for around $800
Hope this helps

yes carbon fiber can be painted, but if you want to paint the entire hood, you're better off going with a stock hood scooped hood. vis is the manufacturer and you can order their parts from just about any import speed shop around...

I would love to have a hood scoop. I think it's one of the few casmetic things I might do in the future. Thanks for the info, and if I'm not mistaken, here's the part numbers for our vehicles:
96TY4RN4DOE-010C & CH96T4RNOE
I think the first one is without the scoop and the second one is with the scoop.

It would be much cheaper to buy a universal hood scoop and do it yourself. Use a template, cut the hole. Mount the scoop. Then have a shop repaint your hood. Scoops will run you under a $100, so then you are just looking at repainting your hood.
Here are a few scoops that I found in a couple of seconds.
Hood Scoops
Oh yeah, just because it says it's a "no drill" installation doesn't mean it can't be made into a functional scoop.
