Thank you Pizza Man (jsant01)! I ordered a Wade hood deflector and had it painted Steel Blue to match my RL. The deflector was about $75 with freight and the paint shop charged $50 to paint the factory color on the backside of the deflector. It took all of 20 minutes to install and I think it came out great.
Yours is the same situation I am having with mine. Honestly,the shape/molding is terrible. It is not consistant at all from one side to the other.
To be honest, I wouldnt recommend this product to anyone. I have had 40+ vehicles in 28 years of life, 12 of which i have been driving. I have spent over $100,000 in modification and aftermarket accessories. This Wade bugshield is probably the poorest design I have had with any aftermarket part. I have had other Wade products that werent as bad, but this one is terrible. It also rubs the paint near the headlights. Its a mess and I wouldnt buy it. Sorry to rain on everyones parade. However, i read this thread, was super excited to find a clear deflector, and now I have $100+ in a POS worthless part.
To future buyers, save your money, or spend more and get a quality bug shield. Otherwise you will have a oversized hockey stick for a 5 year old.
I also tried contacting Wade without success. Never responded to emails either. I honestly could care less about the $100 i lost. But a little customer service would have been nice. Maybe even a response?
Ok, I think I am done venting for now.
