Hopefully a few pics come thru. This is our first time with attachments on this website. This is a Bugflector II "eyebrow". Kinda like it better than Honda's and can't beat the price. Had one on a Chevy pick-up for 8 yrs. Never a problem

Well, big tex, you posted all over the place about accessories. Got a link or just an email and how do we know you are legit?

Post some pictures of the Honda deflector (not the standard catalog shot, your own) and the aftermarket ones guys. I'd like to see a visual comparison.

This is an aftermarket hood deflector-- installed in 10 minutes, no wind noise that I've noticed and matching color makes it appear part of the body.

This deflector came from RealTruck, http://www.realtruck.com/productline..._ colors.html

I looked for for a deflector for some time I wanted a weathertech like the one I put on my 2005 Pilot EX. They were not making one yet so I bought the Honda bug sheild and installed it myself using the supplied instructions and the picyures posted on this site. I have been through several car washes no problem. I like to stay with things I know work. Both seem to mount the same way I am happy with both sheilds. I would say, stay with a proven proudct and pay only once.

I think it is a clear one that is painted on the underside with Honda OEM paint.

Very stealthy!

The white deflector is made by Auto Ventshade and comes in 6 "Designer Colors", luckly for me white being one. I purchased it from RealTruck, (link above) RL Blue isn't one of the shades, but as tlaudio said you can have one painted to match your blue RL.

I don't particularly like hood deflectors. I needed one for bugs taking their last look at my hood. The color matched ones blends into the body making it almost imperceptible.
