Now thats interesting. Being up here at 8,000 feet, with 330 days of sun on average, that would concern me. Perhaps I'll pass.

So wait sec....i havent looked at the '08 very closely yet. Im still trying to decide if i like the new style. So yea, the hood scoop has a solid plastic insert?? WTF? so it really is completely pointless. I plan on getting a 4x4 off road anyways but i did like the hood scoop look, and i had the idea to swap the hoods. Has anyone drilled holes in it or anything. At least some air flow will add to the amount passing through the engine compartment. Does the XRunner have the solid scoop insert as well?
