Non OEM Scooped Hood

Hey all,

about to finally switch over to a 4runner! Super pumped. Settled on a SR5. I really want a scooped hood but could care less for the other features an OR comes with and the additional price difference. I’ve seen many bare metal hoods on eBay for $385 but I want to see if anybody has bought a non-OEM scooped hood and if it’s a perfect fit? I’ll be picking up the 4runner on Friday morning. Can’t wait to start building! Already got a lift and tires and wheels in the cart ready to go

 

There is a running thread of scoop, nonscoop trying to trade in this forum.... some love them, others can't stand them

 

I wouldn’t look to trade, I’m just going to buy. There’s plenty on eBay just don’t know how the fitment will be even though it’s advertised as a perfect fit.
I come from tacomaworld so this is pretty much the 4runner version of that.

 

If you trade, you'll know it fits.

 

Again, not looking to trade...wanting to see if non OEM fits.

 

Best option is to troll online junkyards and find one with rear end and/or side impact damage local to you. That way you know it fits and maybe even get one color matched. The trade thread here is 99% people looking for scooped hoods.

 

I do not like this hood scoop .. causes more wind resistance .. just a look item does nothing .waste of $$$...

 

why buy replica? Just get Oem from stealer for ~ $350. That’s where I got mine

Here’s my hood before my TRD conversion. Fitment was spot on sine it’s Oem

 

Didn’t think of that, I figured not too many people get theirs wrecked lol

For the hood and parts my dealer wants about $700, and then extra $200 to paint it so I’m at $1000 through the dealer so I want to try and avoid that if I can. Not sure if different dealers sell the same parts at different prices though.

 

You could always try the ‘ol “swap a hood” thread:
https://www.4runners.com/threads/5th-gen-hood-swap.1868/

 

OP has made it clear he's not interested in swapping hoods.

 

IMO you have a load of cash .. just get the dealership to do it ............... no problem ..
dealership will get a great deal...
you should also change the wheels and tires and do the lift .. it will look great..

 

Already got a lift on order and wheels and some 33’s as far as the hood goes, if I can save money I will lol

 

Yep try car-part.com to find a nationwide list of junked Trail/OR trucks, and narrow it down by color. That way you don't worry about paint matching, fitment, etc. Or find someone willing to trade. I traded my scooped hood and got some bucks in the process. Couldn't stand the glare coming off of it, nor the idea of a fake scoop to begin with.

 

what i notice is, if i call my dealer i get a jacked up price. but if i log into there site.. i get a lower price. here's the price i got when i check online

$376

 

Yup, missed that.

 

Oh dang, at that price yeah I’m way better off going OEM thank you! I’ll just be ordering OEM route. Appreciate it fellas

 

here’s the current build

 

Man that’s looking good! And you have a limited? I can’t wait to get all my parts installed!

Exactly the plan. My Tacoma has the scoop and as much as I loved it, on sunny bright days when the sun hit it just right I hated it. So just want to see if the 4Runners scoop is as bad.

 

Coming from a 17 inferno red Tacoma! I love the white in the 4runners, if only they still made the inferno red in them because there’s only one in my town and every time I see it I just

 

yup converted my limited. i wear sunglasses and i have no issues with glare. btw, here are the scope parts you'll need


53301-35210 HOOD W/SCOOP 1
76181-35902 Scoop - qyt 1 (this is bare which is intended to paint body color)
76182-35080 Scoop Guide qyt 1
76183-35030 Scoop Protector qyt 2
76183-35040 Scoop Protector qyt 2
76185-35030 Scoop Protector qyt 1

76181-35080 black hood scoop (it's black plastic with a sheen like the black valances)

 

Yeah, its two different prices. Dealers Parts online prices are priced less versus calling or going to the parts counter. I've bought many 4R, Taco, TRD and misc parts cheaper than listed prices.

 

Lifesaver! Greatly appreciate the help

 

For that 300 bucks he could have bought an off road with the hood on it.. pic is msrp, willing to bet could get 10-12% off either of these

 

We all know that that SR5 is WAYYYY over priced if it’s that far off an OR.

 

Hey MTB, any updates on this? Did you get your scooped hood in? I'm looking to replace my non-scooped hood too. What was the final cost? Thanks!

 

I dont believe those #'s.........every SR5 I saw had an MSRP that started at $39K. The SR5 Premiums were $40K and up .
The ORP were all $43K and UP!
