scroll down to universal plastic cowl spoiler, special 30$

a) haha driven is only like that because of me....maybe i should hold onto his lights for another week

b) you should just clean your car out and put the hood INSIDE the car for transportation, its hard to get in the entire way but it does go in

c) lol @ u

I'm not sure how much it would cost you to import but you can still get the WRC bonnet spoiler from Toyota UK for £46. I was about to buy one but managed to find someone today who was throwing one out so I had it

haha..dan got jokes huh??!! I WANT MY HEADLIGHTS!!! LOL jk

no no dan, i cant drive like that any longer, im sure i'll get pulled over sooner or later

Hell Yeah! Got and installed the hood. Plus we ended the "can I drive with no hood" question in style - a '06 TRD Tacoma!
Here are some pics [crappy cell-phone pics]:


The Taco:

And the look I've been waiting for.....

So now all that's left is to extend the latch and paint the hood. Think I'm gonna leave the vents black since they are already clearcaoted and look nice. Not sure though - taking opinions. I'm not gonna paint anything untill I get my OEM exstensions from doggy here in the next couple of weeks.
BTW - I drove around all weekend and even drove halfway to Austin and back with no issues. When I got there I popped the hood for my GFs Dad [he's into cars too] and I actually had to use the release inside the car and the Hood popped right up? I haven't opened it again yet but IDK why that happened. Everytime before that the release was useless and I could just open the hood from the front using the gap. The catches work just fine - I believe that as long as you make sure you close the hood securely the stock hood latch is fine until you go GT4 bumper - which I won't be doing. For any of you who may share my opinion that the GT4 bumper is just too busy and squares out the lines of the car - the gap caused by the GT4 hood looks totally intentional. It actually makes a useable scoop that vents right over the turbo and out the big main vent. I'm happy with the results. It's exactly the way I wanted it to look. Makes me crave the OEM exstensions though so Doggy - I got money comin your way very soon.
Then it's paint time!

you still have to disengage the main latch in the car but the hood wont pop up. if you used the release and it popped right up, then the safety hook wasnt engaged. make sure the safety hook engages when you close it. look through the gap and double check. its very tight. im sure you noticed you have to press down on the hood to unlatch the safety hook. i loosened the bolts on the latch and shifted it up as much as i could and i also took the bumper seal off when i had my hood on. helped alot. i also dropped the hood from a bit higher to make sure it engaged. but i agree, the gap looks very intentional. my friend with a firebird thought it was supposed to be like that. by the way, plan on getting the wrc spoiler?

pic with my hood on



im still thinking of maybe getting a 404 lip instead of a gtfour bumper

Yeah. I shouldn't have said "popped up" - it still doesn't pop up but the first 2 days with the new hood the release inside the car didn't do anything. Now [I just checked it again], I have to hit the release inside before I let the manual release on the front just like the stock hood except it doesn't pop up. That's even better - I have my alarm hooked up to the hood but I feel extra safe knowing a theif will have to get inside the car before he can get inside the hood.
Still wish I had gotten your hood but black doesn't look bad at all in the meantime. Makes me wanna paint my whole car flat black.
Only downside - my header is getting uglier because it rained to day.

ya after having the gtfour hood on for awhile, it got my engine bay a lot dirtier than it was. you can also unhook the safety latch first and then pop the hood and it will pop up. ya at first i thought anybody could open my hood too until i figured it out

Took some more pics with my good digital camera:




And what't this peeking out....?

And if you thought the GT4 hood didn't look good with the stock USDM bumper - I beg to differ. I always thought/hoped it would look like this. I couldn't be happier.

keep the grills black and paint the rest of the hood. that's what i was gonna do. would look baller.

My exact plan! Thanks man.

they are 85 cents each and so you'll need 4 of them. check this pic:

Thanks azian_advanced for that. Anybody got a picture of the spoiler installed on a WRC GT4? I'm thinking I don't want it but who knows it may look good.
I used to have fun with people at meets defending my friends 7th Gen GTS with TRD bodykit cause she had those little wings in the front by the windshield. The domestic guys would say it was stupid, useless and rice and I would always point to the Huge TRD wing on the back, call them stupid and say that that was the useless rice. If anything the front spoilers are somewhat functional - FWD car. In all actuality they were both probably useless but it's funny to watch those guys scratch their heads and walk off.

here's mine:

Oh $hit that's nice. Great now I need another part. Anybody know how much the OEM one costs and how to get it? I saw the aftermarket replica but I prefer Genuine Toyota Parts.

i think i remember reading that these were discontinued... not sure though.

*sneaks over to azian_advanced's home of residence* keh keh.

One sucky about the gt4 hood is that when ur leaking radiator fluid out the cap then it sprays all over your windshield and i have rust in a water passageway so it looks like tubgirl was all over my window

EWWWwwww...bad middle school memories, ugh.....tubgirl*shutters*...

I find tubgirl strangely erotic. Did you notice she even wore knee high stockings for the pics?
LOL J/K

Thats just wrong

You have no idea the depths of my wrongness.
