So I got really luckey on this. I was just callin around too the local junk yards and seein if any showed up and by the beard of zuse one did! Also it is black so I wont have to get it painted, which also made my day. It should be here around tuesday or wednesday. Ill fire some pics up here when I get her all put on and installed.

Also its goin on a 98 4runner so this should be interesting. Anyone have any pics of it being on a later modle 4runner.

I paid 265 for it what did you guys pay?

 

nice find cant wait for pics

 

That's awesome man, that will really add to the looks of your 4Runner!

 

great find! not a bad price as long as its in great shape i guess. i hope too, to one day have the funds to buy a hood with scoop for my 2nd gen so i can put in the intercooler.

 

 

Already painted to match! score

 

damn that is lucky! congrats man, be sure to put before and afters...since mine is black i'm a little more interested

and for future reference, the beard belongs to zeus

 

Oh dont worry there will be pics. I should have it monday or tuesday.It came off a 99 highlander edition and it just so happens to be black! So I didnt hesitate to say SOLD to the guy.

 

definitely scored there! i just bought a new toyota hood and all the little things that go with it unpainted for $412 with my 20% discount, then $280 for painting with another discount, and the hassle of putting those damned rivets in the scoop part! that's awesome, i wish they made a sport hood in my color so i could have done what you did and have a FACTORY match and paint job. can't wait for the pics.

 

Well I got the hood, It is in pretty good condition. it had a toyota bug deflector on it that was all loose and busted also it had a bunch of thoes nipple things across the hood so i had to take thoes off. The hood just needs a good buffin and some compound on it and she will be good as new!

Here are some pics. Sorry about the quality, my brother is borrowing my other one.

Here it is in the back of the truck before I took the bug deflector off.


Before


No Hood


New Hood!!



I will get more pics once it isnt so cold out and I can put some time into cleaning her up.

 

real nice. i will say that the scooped hoods look so much nicer on the darker colored 4runners. mine is the desert dune pearl and even though it looks pretty sweet, it doesn't have the same mean look as the dark colors do. just my opinion though.

looks really good!

 

Personally I think they look better on lighter colors...it contrasts with the scoop even more.

Dude, you scored huge on that find! I paid the $tealership for mine, and even with a discount I paid like $400 or so for all the parts, then had to fork out another $400 for a good tri-coat paintjob to match it. I think it was worth it though...it looks so much more aggressive. Welcome to the club.

 

i want one, just the money factor

 

Those are some crappy pics I must say but it looks good. I wish there was one for 2nd gens.

 

3rd gens are better lol

 

You can sand down the grill in the scoop to make it silver, and it'll stand out more. I plan to eventually do that to mine.

 

I get red x's

teh suck

 

Dang man, lucky find...I've been junk yard diving for the past year for one--looks good.

 

Weird I can see it now.

Looking good! Black has always been my favorite color on a Toyota. It looks so nice and sleek.

 

I traded in my '97 just for a SE.
