For me ... bug deflectors are "so 90's" ...

 

Hello Guys, I have a 2023 GX460 I got it about a month ago. Love it, I watched a ton of videos on all kinds of upgrades and mods. I have installed LED bulbs just about everywhere, a gear selector **** to match the interior black piano finish, and side window visors. Currently, I am looking to get a hood bug deflector. I can't seem to be able to find it anywhere. One site that used to sell it is in Russia and they are out of stock " so they say " I think the war has something to do with it. I have been searching for weeks and can't find one place to buy it. Do any of you guys have any good links?

 

Looking for one for a 2023

 

i got one on etsy back in June but looks like they are now out of stock as well.

 

i found this active

Are there alternatives to protect the most vulnerable section of the vehicle from rocks? Film is expensive. This is inexpensive and can be removed easily.

 

I am old school. I do like it, toying with the idea of getting one. Apparently they are popular in Iceland. I saw so many Landcruiser Prado VX/GX owners have it installed.

 

Yes, there are a lot of them. Popular cars

 

I think it is from the vacuum moulding process, they are usually located near what would be the deepest draw area and those would be the vacuum port locations

 

2012 Lexus GX Bug Deflector & Guard For Trucks, SUV & Car Hoods | WeatherTech

weathertech lists one, i wonder if they really have it or if they have some generic universal version. i'll contact to find out.

old version

 

The Australian made OEM one I have is attached with 4 as well but secured underneath. It relies on a strip of clear bra on the top

i looked around for 2012 in stock. have a couple places to contact tomorrow. but nothing for sure yet

 

Thats where the metal clips are located for anchoring. They are actually pretty solid, holds the shield very tight

 

Any idea if the hood protector is still available anywhere? I have a 17 GX460 and I've tried almost every site suggested on this thread.

 

if you can't find any for GX460 i would try for Prado on some European sites or eBay
