Can anyone recommend a good bug shield that isn't hard to install on a 2021? Having a hard time finding a part number for and OEM for 2021. Aftermarket will do as well. Thanks.

I obviously don't have one, but I did have a AVS Aeroskin on my Titan.(about the same thing) Yes it does stop rock chips on the edge of the hood, and is fairly cheap, compared to having a clear bra or paint protection put on. Those tend to turn yellow with age, and on a white truck, it would really show. I like the higher profile shields a little better, but as of now, Honda doesn't have them.
It seems to me that the deflector would tend to direct rocks up to the windshield area. I am not opposed to them, just wondering. I had one many years ago, and the two small pads that keep the deflector from touching the hood marked the paint, even though I installed the protective piece of material underneath them.
True in some cases. Most people put the bumpers that come with some shields on the shield--not a good idea, the bumper will vibrate and literally rub the paint off. They should go on the actual hood. The low profile shield like above, doesn't deflect anymore to your windshield than a car without one. The geometry will be the same as stock. Now the off the hood types DO tend to help stones find your glass, and really don't do squat about actual bugs.
I leave early in the morning to go to work, around 4:00 AM, one day something came over the concrete divider and hit the aluminum hood of my Titan, and destroyed my AVS shield, scarred the crap out of me!!! I got to work and checked it out, shield was trash, and when I got home, I took it off, no dents or even a scratch. The very best shields I have used are from Formfit in Canada, I've had them on my last 4 vehicles, they aren't as simple to install, but are the best I've ever seen. They don't make one for our 2021 RL yet.
