Default Hood Deflector added

I haven’t seen too many owners go this way, the invisible 3M clear shield seems quite popular.
I’ve always liked the looked and as a daily driver of the busiest highway in North America (Toronto’s 401), hood deflectors have absolutely protected my vehicles over the years from some large stones and debris. It’s also quite effective at minimizing bug splatter out in the Ontario boonies.

FormFit is the brand, it’s actually what Toyota and Lexus sells from the dealer network here in Canada (made in Calgary, Alberta).
But you can order directly from the manufacturer at Formfithoodprotectors.com

If ya like it that's what counts. Not a fan of bug deflectors at all... They take away from the look of vehicles so much. With 3m protective film I don't see a need for these anymore honestly.

Got one too, the OEM version packed in the buying deal ... Looks pretty similar and they added a "Lexus" logo and name on the driver side
Winter driving conditions in Canada can be hard on the front end of a car out here in Quebec... So it is more of a salt/stone deflector than a bug deflector :-)
Here it is on my 2018 F-Sport

I'm in need of a bug shield for the entire front end (preferably). Lovebugs during the drive from the East FL to West Fl is murder on the front of the car.
Any help would be appreciated.

Wow, flash from the past. I thought these things were dead and done. I had one on my 1987 Jeep Cherokee. I still wonder if it did any good. Putting one on a Lexus doesn't work for me.

Windshield visors, rear hatch louvers, hood bug deflectors and side window visors, all blast from the pass.
