Not my cup 'o tea, I'd rather go with a 3M clear shield, but have at it...

I've had an email from a CL member regarding this deflector, we already deal with the manufacturer ans sell these items. Give me a few days and I'll put up a GB for them, it will definitely be less then-$150.00 shipped!

Default Overrated!!!!!!

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 put on or take off when you want. 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.

Also, if you want the side mirrors and the bumper protection, you will need a lot bigger batman mask

I bet you will get much more 'respect' from a valet (and your date) if you 3M instead...

I'll post this up as well from the other models we stock, it's the same basic mounting procedures and very simple, we put them on all our parts trucks and have been on there for years
