Best bug deflector?

Mike H. · 06-20-2004, 01:51 PM

I am in need of a new bug defelctor since I broke mine (factory version). I'd like opinions on various brands. I was not all that pleased with the factory version. It does keep bugs from hitting anywhere on the hood. But did not seem to deflect them up the windshield at all. It does not have that big of a flipped-up trailing lip to it.

I had a buddy with one on an S-10 I think it was, and no bugs hit on the lower half of his windshield. I think it was a Lund. What are your experiences? I don't have a problem with drilling a couple holes for attachment.

I have the AVS I like it. It doesn't keep them off the windshield. Try driving with the hood up, see if that helps. Other than that I dont think theres much you can do.

check out this thread on the 'general' forum: Question about bug deflectors

I ordered the one that greg_w shows on his white Titan. I plan on putting in on in the next few days. I'll take some pics and post them so you can see what it looks like on a deepwater.

I've got a Lund Interceptor I am installing tomorrow....Ill try to post some pictures after I get it on.....

Ok...so here they are.....not the best (maybe it's the crappy cell phone camera), I'll try to get better ones later..(I just finished washing and waxing my baby before I put this on and I am wiped out by the heat today 102) ..the defelctor went on in no time....uses screws(in factory holes) and tape to keep it on........

PS....if you hate sticky glue from inspections stickers beware....I made the mistake of trying to remove it with some "Goo Gone" and it mared the finish slightely......but it's under the lip of the hood so no real harm.....
