Hood shields

let’s see pictures of your “bug deflectors “ hood protectors. Debating on putting one on my quicksand. Pros and cons

 

Anybody??? Driving to Florida in April and was thinking of getting one to protect from road debris chipping the hood.

 

Love the looks of mine and believe it has to help some

 

I was thinking of getting one for my 2016, but read somewhere that they scratch the hood.

Those of you that have one installed, have you noticed any scratches on you hood from the unit?

 

Price and purchased where?

Why not just get a 3M Clear Bra? I never liked the look of those hood shields or the window vent visors for that matter, clutters up the nice body lines of our trucks.

 

The protection is needed on the Hood Bulge, not the hood. Granted the hood gets damage as well but the Hood Bulge gets the bulk of the damage

 

PO of my truck had it and I like it OK so I left it on there for now...

It also has the window shields. They blend in with the windows so well you can hardly tell they’re there.

 

Weathertec and I believe about $70

 

So true. I had an AVS deflector on my 2nd gen 07 and worked quite well. The deflectors for the 3rd gen seem to be pretty much worthless. My 14's hood is fine. The chrome hood bulge has taken the debris hits. I've seen nothing out there for protection other than clear wrap.
