Many stickers you have there!

Yeah, ha. I have a HUGE pile of stickers at home. I placed them all over my laptop for work. I don’t want to just throw them away. I think vehicles covered in stickers look tacky. But, under the hood - that seems OK.

Nice. The idea of a hood scoop appeals to me but it’s probably overboard. I don’t live in an exceptionally hot area.

The hood scoop is purely aesthetic. Non-Functional.

Although, it is an effective dead bug collector.

Only the ladies

Didn't affect my wife's undies..................

Can't say about other ladies. Although, I like to say. The penalties and ramifications are too steep.

If that’s a fact then I accept it; but I thought it might be a clever way of relieving engine bay temperatures on the highway with more airflow. Maybe not?

i've read its chrome mirrors that is supposed to do this

taco john in Denver has a functioning scoop on his 97 single cab 5VZFE supercharged with 750k miles (2nd engine)

Nah it’s underglow actually but good guess

A scoop on a tacoma, or any daily driven truck looks ridiculous unless its a kids hot wheels toy.

That kind of statement would get U the boot at that other place

Jokes aside, I think they look great . . . when done well.

It did. Some little squid turned me in cause I made fun of his truck he drives everyday. It was worth 30 days. Maybe on a pro mod a scoop would look good, certainly not an everyday driver.

Maaannn......now I'm hurt. I feel excluded and this is not an inclusive situation................

I'm gonna go cry to someone. Who wants to agree with me????



Sorry, don't really care. I think the scoop looks fine on my Gen 2 Sport. Gives it an aesthetic appeal to me. Yeah, I know its non-functional except as a dead bug collector.
