Product Description
Toyota FJ Cruiser 2007-2014 Stainless Hood Vent Trim, 2 Pieces (HT27140)
For the Toyota FJ Cruiser, a 4-door SUV, HT27140 supplies a two-piece stainless trim for the hood vent area. It's listed for model years 2007 through 2014, eight years on one Fitment row. Both pieces are polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA, and the 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape is used of each.
Two pieces means two positions to get right. The catalog names the part type "Hood Vent Trim" but doesn't describe where each piece sits or give a width, so the product photos are your map. Compare both pieces with the photos and with your own hood, and work out which goes where before you clean or peel anything. If you can't tell, a call to us will settle it.
Mounting is tape only. The trim installs directly over the existing surface, no drilling, and QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. That depends on the paint, so inspect each spot and repair chips, peeling clear coat or blistering beforehand.
On a two-piece hood trim, even spacing is what the eye notices, so set both pieces in place with their liners on before committing either one. Measure from a fixed reference, such as the hood edge, to each piece and make the distances match if the photos show them placed evenly. Mark the ends with painter's tape. Clean each area with soapy water, rinse, dry and degrease. Then peel and press one piece firmly along its length, check it against the second piece's marks, and install that one the same way. Finish with another firm press on both. The Installation tab has more detail.
The FJ Cruiser sheet lists seven other parts for the SUV, with several front-end and window options. Two grille accents are listed with very different piece counts: SG27140 has nine pieces and SG27141 has two, so compare their photos to see what each covers. For the windows, WP27140 is an eighteen-piece full package with upper trim, pillar posts and window sills; WS27140 is a four-piece window sill set on its own; and pillar post trim comes as PP27140 with four pieces or PP27142 with eight, which includes the front triangle. GC27140 is a one-piece gas door cover trim. Check each listing for its finish.
Polished 304 stainless gives the hood a bright accent, and 26 gauge keeps the pieces slim. Work on a dry, mild day and let the tape set overnight before washing. Afterward, rinse off dust and clean with mild soap and a soft cloth.
If you're thinking about a fuller set, the hood trim and one of the grille accents make a natural front-end pairing, while the window package covers the sides in a single order. Starting with the hood pieces gives you an early look at how the polished stainless sits against your FJ's paint. Only FJ Cruisers from the listed years are covered, so check yours.

Installation tips: Hood Vent Trim
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
