Just wondering if anybody has any problems with the Glassworks fiberglass hood with the scoop for the 01 and up tacos. Do you have any problems in the winter with water getting in when accidentally taking a huge puddle too fast? Thanks!

Also, they say it bolts right up, does it really?

just adding my $.02 as this is on my 2000

my hood fit damn good for fiberglass, i do have glasswork's 3.5" bulge fenders though. the lines are as good as you are going to get with glass. the major thing people mess up when putting it on is they rush. if you take your time, line everything up good before you drill/bolt it down, youll be fine.

ive never had a problem getting watter in the scoop, but i have yet to go hood deep in standing water. i have had water/mud splash over the whole truck and have had no problems other than a dirty engine. as a whole, your motor will get more dirt on it than without the scoop, but that just means you have to wash it more often

as for bolting up , yes it does but...
it does not come pre drilled, you have to drill and tap all the holes yourself

hope that helps... :xbeer1:

So then you definately have to get pins, huh? Sorry, I'm new to the fiberglass body parts stuff. Only fiberglass I'm used to is for sub boxes. It no longer uses the stock latch?

you definetly want to use at least 2 pins. when i went to put mine on, the stock latch would have had the hood sitting 1.5-2" high in the front. so i took the suker off and put two of these

up front and never looked back. my hood was never as stable as it is now. stock it used to dance and float around any time i go tover 80 mph. now its solid.

it takes a little getting used to the pins instead of the latch. just dont forget to put the pins in!! lol :xsmokin1:
