I was thinking about that hood too. The problem with it is that you can only use the OEM grille.

Sure you can modify it but first off the grill goes in through the back not the front like the stock hood. When you do it like tht theres a gap with some grilles. I have not tested it but do a search. A member named GSIntensive had it bit the fitment was horrible and his TRD grill wouldnt work so he never put it on. PM him he will sell it cheap LOL.
