Bug/Stone shield

For those of you who may be looking..... Finding a bug/stone shield in camo is easy. Finding one like this is hard. I found it on carID. Shipping was about $60. OUCH. But I discovered this truck is a magnet for bugs and stones. I hate 3 dozen tiny paint chips on the front edge of my hood.

Installation was a breeze. No drilling needed. The bolts are plastic and probably a little flimsy. But if one wears out, a replacement in steel is a piece of cake.

 

Realtruck has them in matte black as well. Mine was delivered in a week and as you said, installation was easy. While testing its durability at higher speeds, I discovered it makes some noise over 80mph.

 

I have the same one, matte black though. Looks great. Not a fan of the little cone spacers though.

 

never owned a bug deflector, do this actually work to protect ?

 

Definitely helps stop the chips in the front of the hood.

 

I have to take the truck on a 1200 mile freeway trip next week. I'll let you know.

 

thankyou

 

I bought the Toyota version.

 

Is there any drilling required when installing the Toyota version?

 

I didn't think Toyota made one of these. Is this OEM? Where did you get it?

 

Had to make a minor change. Still taking the 1200 mile freeway trip. But I won't get back to you til 11/6.

 

You can add it as an accessory in the online builder online in Canada. Dealer or port installed option

Finished that long drive. Made it there and back without even 1 single paint chip. I cannot say that for the vehicles I've driven without one of these deflectors. At 62MPH I noticed a little wind vibration. But it goes away once I get to 68.
