The deflector is not touching the car. They are normally clamped and are riding on clear bumpers. When it rains, rain will just slide in between. Easy to install and take out. Good for bugs and stones. If reasonably priced, I want one. Once in a while you want to look different, put them on.

I have decided against the bug deflector and went with 3M clearbra for two reasons;

1. PC will fade in time and your RX will start to look like a 50 year old Pinto.
2. After rains and 'dust/snow/salt' storms, lots of streaks and debris will settle on the RX's nose (ater all you went through to save it from rock chips...), and I am not planning on taking the deflector out everytime I wash my RX!

Clearbra is way to go in my opinion

Clear bra are $450 installed vs $150; the extra $300 I can buy either a signal mirrors or a TC grille. The deflector are easy to take off when you want to. If you are already have rock chips the clear bra will create air pockets. I could care less about what others think if it looks good, to me its about function & the deflector does that. And its not going to fade, lol.

you should also think of your bumper and side mirrors before you decide.. again, law of physics; everything will fade (PC faster than 3M for sure)
