    Just bought a 2021 SR5 without the hood scoop. I just like the hood scoop better than the non scoop. Considering replacing mine with one with a hood scoop.

    anybody have suggestions on where to purchase a hood scoop, specifically one that can match the color of my sr5 (magnetic grey)

    I am also open to different hood designs that do not have the hood scoop. I just think an upgraded hood would make the vehicle look so much better and less basic

    As with other Duraflex FRP hoods, typically they don't come with washer nozzle cutouts, so you'll have to come up with your own mounting solution, for example clip-on nozzles that go on wiper arms.

    IMO / If it was for my money, I wouldn't waste my money on a hood. The only benefit it gives is slightly better look for IG pics. The sun shines off the hood every morning and evening when I drive to drop & pick my kid. My wife complains about visibility issues.

    I also don't want to mess with the perfect paint match, alignment and closing mechanism came from factory.

    I would spend the $ on mods like tires, suspension, lights but never for a hood with a fake hood scoop.
