Looking at those photos I'm so glad I went with smoke/black taillights. It looks so much better now without those red spots popping out.

Does anyone get a bad sun glare off their hood from the skewp? I'm thinking of blacking it out . Has anyone done some hood wraps for that? Or I may paint it.

There’s a company that sells a hood scoop vinyl overlay. A lot of guys have done it on Tacoma world. I’m not sure where they have gotten the overlays, but it looks good.

This one looks better not being so long on the sides. The pic you posted does look like fangs.

I put a thin black strip on the part of the scoop that begins to stick up from the hood on the back that faces you. That took my glare away. I'll try and remember to take a pic of it tomorrow when its light out if you want.

Haha. One of these days man, one of these days. The moon and Neptune will align with Mars and the crab nebula, and we will make the GREATEST HOOD SWAP OF ALL TIME!!!! Sorry, I get a little excited thinking about getting a skewp.

How is having the scoop? I bought the or because the scoop was just cosmetic and I heard I'd get more skid plates.

I like it, I like the subtle effect, though you have to understand, the film used for the wrap will help protect the paint from the UV issues, up to a point, but it doesn't have a real long lifespan, and it won't protect against dings, scratches or gouges.
I'd like to see what the final version looks like.

I liked it, it doesn't look like flames to me. If it were actual red flames I wouldn't care for it.
Nice touch.
