Anyone Have A Nissan Factory Bugshield?

I am considering one for my truck, and my main concern is stone chips on the hood. Do these Bugshields really do a good job at reducing this? And are they worth the $70 or $80?

Absolutely! I have not one ding or scratch on the hood of my 04 because I have ther deflector installed before delivery. The angle of the very front of the hood makes it especially prone to nicks and chips. It's covered entirely by the bugshield.

I agree- I have some hood nicks and windshield nicks but only to the sides of the deflector. It does a pretty good job.

If you don't like the looks of it, there are MANY different ones out there in different designs and colors. They're cheap and you won't be sorry. Now....let Mr. TitanThunders "jellybeans" go and allow him to spend the $75 or so!

Your truely,

Mr. HudsonValleyTitan

Would you write my wife a letter also?I would like to but a new boat.
Anything you could say on my behalf would be greatly appreciated.
She's got my "jellybeans" in a pair of Vice Grips
Thanks HVT!

I have had the OEM bugshield on since Summer 04 and have never had a problem with it. I got it on right the fist time and it hasn't moved since. It has also been through the car wash a number of times with the big blowers trying to lift it off and it still fits like the first day I put it on. Yeah the screws may show slightly to those who look for it, but most people wouldn't notice.
