as the title says i just bought one. I was aware i had to buy the hood in several peices. I just got the main hood so far. my quesiton is, does anyone know anywhere cheep to get the bulge plug and screen for it? im in socal. in pasadena. im wiling to drive a reasonable distance to get it. also, doe anyone know of a good cheap paint shop around?

 

I can ask the bodyshop in Chula Vista that is working on my truck right now to get a quote for you. I'll be visiting them later in the week. Seems like very cool guys w/a respectable body shop since they do a lot of old car restoral and the place is in really good shape. I'll let you know how good they paint and get a quote for ya.

 

northridge toyota (search here) ask for evan

 

i actually went by to talk to him, but he was not in. they quoted me almost 300 just got the scoop assembly. i ended up going ot wondries in alhambra. they had it for 200.


next question is, now that i have the parts, there is no assembly instructions. most of it is self explanitory, but there is a couple rubber peices that seem to serve no function. also, how am i supposed to rivit the peices in, there so far back?

has anyone put theres together themselves? and do you have instrucitons so i can do it right?

 

if you search a bit...I answered the mounting problem question....I just don't remember what thread it was in. I ended up using a nut/bolt combo for the screen. Although, if I could do it all over again, I would cut out the back of the scoop, and use it as more of a vent. Maybe make a small ABS form or something to direct the air out, or something.
