    I’ve seen a few first gen Tacoma’s that have the hood scoop built into the hood, I’ve always figured I’d have to install a scoop myself but I was curious if anyone in the group knows of any places I can simply buy a replace my hood that has the scoop in it already. I’m alright with having to paint it as well. Thanks for the wealth of knowledge that Tacomaworld is!

    There are fiberglass hoods with scoops (McNair is one of them)

    Some poeple splice in a 4 Runner Limited scoop. (4 Runner hood doesn't fit, you'll have to cut it out of the 4 runner hood and splice it in to yours)

    There are about a million different things, we do to our trucks, that I'm sure many people would think is a waste of money.

    Absolutely!
    Swapping hoods for purely cosmetic reasons has to be high.

    I agree. It’s why we do what we do.
