    I have been looking at getting a hood deflector and say These
    $170 Auto Ventshade [AVS] Aeroskin Lightshield Hood Protector | Fits 2014 - 2021 Toyota Tundra - Black | 753094
    Aeroskin Lightshield hood deflectors but they are for 3rd Gens only. I think its a pretty nifty looking piece for the front end and would give my 2010 a little facelift but I cannot find anything like it for a 2nd gen.

    Has anyone found anything like this?

    If not does anyone have a good recommendation for a good hood deflector?

    To me it looks like a wind noise maker, bug catcher, and leds that will fail within a few months.

    I appreciate the input, i didnt think about it like that, you certainly make some good points. I already have some raptor style lights in my EAG grill so it would likely be overkill. Still interested in a hood deflector anyways, think it might give some height to the front end look.

    One other thing to consider is the junk it collects. When I was looking for my tundra, I came across one truck that had one of these installed. I looked on the underside of it and it was full of leaves, pine straw and pollen. Unless you have a good way to clean it out, this leaves a great source for rust and and causing paint issues if it's not taken care of... This is one reason I passed on the buying this truck.
