It's saying a new genuine oem sport hood for a 4runner for 244 bones, how can this be? just randomly clicked on the advertisement on the ttora forum and checked it out. anyone have any history or experience with this site?

 

it says 243 bones.

not 24 bones.

 

That's what I see too...

 

that's what i meant haha...had 243 and went to change it to 244 and i guess hit it one time too many.

 

Thats the price for ONLY the hood. You need several other parts, including the actual SCOOP and hardware...PLUS painting. I'd expect at least $600 when done.

 

how would the scoop come seperate from the hood? granted i've never actually looked at one super close i'm sure it's a unibody design

 

The scoop is a plastic piece that attaches to the metal shell of the actual hood that you linked to above with said hardware. You need it.

 

so could i buy the shell and modify my current hood to make it fit?

 

I don't understand what other parts you would need? The scoop is not separate from the hood. Unless you're talking about the little plastic insert. Even then, it wouldn't be that much to get---besides, it's non-functional, anyway.

The latch, hingles, etc. should all be the same for regular hoods.

EDIT: Just read your post. I'll have to go check to see if it's two separate pieces. I swear it looks like it's just one piece.

 

their is a peice in front of the buldge of the hoodscoop, thats the part hes talking about

the buldge is part of the hood its not seperate so you cant modify your hood. you need this one or get a different scoop and cut a hole and do it that way.

 

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i just want a scoop. is that so much to ask?!?! hahaha

 

They probably get you with the shipping amount.

 

hahaha 244 dollars with 290 shipping.

sounds like this place around here called southern off road specialists. they listed a pair of kc hi lites (the ones i have on top now) for 189, but wanted 240 to install. what gives?

 

hah wow, 290 shipping? good joke! 240 for install that's ridiculous!

 

the shipping was a joke, unfortunately the light install wasn't

 

wow thats ridiculous, i'm guessing you installed them yourself?

 

sure did, i'd rather wipe my anus with that cash then hand it over to those thieves
