2024 Tacoma / 2025 4Runner Hood Overlay 1.0

Long before the 6th generation 4Runner and 4th generation Tacoma came out it has been customary for off roaders to put matte material on their hood to cut out glare.  This glare can come from the sun or lights mounted above the vehicle's hood.  

Not only does it serve a function (potentially depending on the color you choose), but it can add some contrast and style at the same time.  We chose this size because it's easier to install, easier to ship, and the hood pitches downward so this covers the area most likely to reflect light into the driver's eyes.

NOTE:  2 sets are sold at a reduced price.  Keep it as a backup or in case you need to practice on one.  Fits SR5, TRD Off-road, Trailhunter, Limited, and Platinum.

Colors

We're starting off offering 5 different types of materials.  All of these materials are sourced in the US and are a premium choice for your vehicle.

Matte black is one of the easiest colors to install in general.  It stretches and responds to heat very well.

The gloss black we chose has air egress channels and that is why it is a little more expensive than standard colors.  Air egress channels assist in providing a path for air to escape during installation (less bubbles).  Some cost is also due to the fact that it is cast versus calendared.

General Formulations 3D carbon wrap also has air egress channels and a textured, dark appearance.  We've used it for tons of accents.  To clean, use 303 Aerospace Protectant.  It'll look great!  Don't use any type of wax.  

All options have high outdoor durability ratings.

Installation

Please read below and refer to the video above. Similar application.

Ideal install temperature is 70-80 degrees.  Do this install in a shaded area on a hood that is not warm.

Clean the application area to prepare it for installation.  Just use a wax free detailing spray if your vehicle is not too dirty.

NOTES:  We recommend that the installation area be free of wax and not under direct sunlight.  

• Microfiber
• Detailing Spray
• Soapy Water (we recommend our StickerFab Installation Fluid)
• Heat Gun or Hair Dryer (optional)
• Supplied Felt Tip Squeegee 

Wet installs require one drop of dish or hand soap in a cup of water.  Apply to the vinyl so that the first attempt doesn't make the vinyl permanently stick to the surface.  Then you can slide it around and push out the extra water once it is in place with your squeegee.

Try doing the install in the shade so it doesn't heat up the vinyl rapidly. 

Watch our video for more details.  We purposely did a long installation and did not skip any parts.  You may fast forward and rewind at your own leisure.
