I went with a Lund, have one on my van that is 12 yrs. old and still looks good. Go with a clear one and paint it in the backside to match body color. The Lund also has life time warranty. That they stand behind.

That shield looks nice! I almost ordered the Weathertech for mine. The reason that I didn't...someone, somewhere said it mounted with 3M tape. Can you confirm/deny? I had great success with the Weathertech version on my 2005 Pilot. Good luck!

I have a chrome hood/bug deflector that a local truck shop found and installed for me. I get compliments all the time and am always asked where I got it from. The manufacturer is Stampede for all you BLING lovers who want some attention running down the highway.

I'd buy this one over and over again! Priced right too! Oh, and cleaning the underside is accessible too. I'll try to attach a pic now. Mirror, mirror on the........
