hood scoop?
are any of the hood scoops that they sell at autoparts stores any good. Im talking about the ones that just go on top, since the real one is not functional and this one looks just as good why get an entire new hood. Or is it a totally different design?
thanks
thanks

its up to personal preference really. i would never get an all new hood unless insurance was paying for it.
i havent gotten an aftermarket one because the ones ive seen dont match the paint or style of the runner quite right, imo. they may to you though.

If you are going to do it, the only way is the Toyota hood.

Jason B thats a nice 4runner, i was thinking about getting that bottom bumper piece like on yours. autoaccessory has it for 250, how much did you pay for it and where did you get it, thanks

I bought it for $250 for the spoiler and $110 for the special Hella lights
that go in it. It cost me about $100 to paint it. Plan on about $450 total,
and it looks awesome! Make sure to get the "rockguard" coating put on it before it's painted to stop chipping.

I almost went the route of an aftermarket hood that was supposedly similar to the factory hood but decided not to since they are usually made out of really thin/cheap metal. I finally ordered a factory hood w/ scoop through a mechanic that owed me a favor...got it at cost and he painted it and installed it for free. I couldn't be happier

That also seems too cheap at $150 shipped. Shipping usually runs well over $50 to ship a hood that big.

i wish i took the pics, but i saw this really thrashed old ugly K-car last year that had a hood scoop and BIG wing on the trunk....you know the racer boy kinda car stuff? it was hilarious! the guy had made the scoop and tail wing/foil out of 2x4 wood and nails.
hehe...i still laugh thinking about it.
sadly, i want to put a highlander hood/scoop on my 99'er still
