    Who makes the best fitting bug deflector for a Gen 1 (2001)? I've been reading reviews for a couple of days and it seems nobody makes one that fits without some massaging/trimming/grinding. If not a perfect fit whose requires the least modification to get it to fit? Opinions?

    @abcinv can answer this question. I believe there's a thread on it, but he's got the info, and the product is way less $$ than I expected.

    The best was the original Toyota one honestly. Wish they still made them.

    I got mine direct from WeatherTech for 80 bucks.

    The one I tried before that was what a lot of others ran into that would've required a lot of cutting
