I'm considering it, too, because I'm planning on installing hood struts, and they already have a bracket that mounts at the hinge location. I'm afraid of making a bracket sandwich with a bunch of mounts piled up.
Well, I went the route that the gentleman above recommended. I'm close to Utah, so can drive up and have the hood installed there without shipping. It's only costing me $2,140.00 (I'm having the scoop painted matte black as well) plus $150 in labor. I wonder if you could have a local Toyota...
