WeatherTech Hood Protector Installed on the Trailhunter

Scrubber her down and installed the weatherTech hood protector. For those of you considering this item and wondering whether to go with the gloss black or the matte black, this is the matte black. I would call it “soft matte”. The matte finish is softer than the OEM matte trim pieces on the TH but the difference is very subtle. The gloss one is the better option if you have the TRD Pro or TRD Sport model as those have factory gloss black trim pieces.

Install was a snap. Just follow the instructions and I recommend that you have some blue painter’s tape on hand for the required masking. Installation was about 30 minutes.

Looks great, I was thinking about getting it for my TRD Pro.

Love it! I have that on my TRD off road.

any chance they make a version where the logo isn't so present???

That close up makes it look more prominent than it is. Even I had to check and make sure I had the same one!

Here is a photo not so close up.

Correct. It is barely visible. I had to focus close up and then make sure the lighting angles were just right in order for it to show up on camera.
