Low Profile Bug Deflector For 2008 Silverado

[Rocketman4]

I am looking for a low profile bug shield for my 2008 silverado. I want something sleek, not bulky. Just went onto auto anything and the egr one looked nice and was only $60. Anyone have one of these? I am going to get the clear one and paint to match my truck. Thanks for help in advance.

no matter which one you get you'll have to deal with the noise factor, especially the one GM sells. it changes the wind profile. the only fix I've found is to re-seal the trim around the windshield.

Never had any wind noises with mine. I have a low profile one from cabelas

I just put an AVS Aeroskin on my Sierra, can't get any more low profile than that. I really like it.

well I have one but don't remember the name of it but I will take a look at it and let you guys know

and so far I like it a lot, and best of all no wind noise at all, here's a pic of it

edit: yes you can see in the pic, is an AVS!!!

Just bought an AVS for my 2009 Sierra. So far, it works very well, no noise at all.

I have an AVS on my Silverado, no wind noise at all.

I am running the AVS as well, no changes in noise that I've found.

I find (unfortunately) the bigger and uglier, the more effective.

I opted, however, for the low profile WeatherTech. Easy install. Zero noise.

Anecdote: My very first highway trip after install of mine resulted in small paint chip (something got kicked up) about halfway up my hood. Hence, I find that the low profile ones are not an end-all solution.

Doubtless, however, had I not installed it, my hood (especially the nose) would be in much worse shape.

AVS on mine, painted to match, they look nice. The noise is more of a ticking noise actually, vs general wind noise. Lots of people had the issue after install. YMMV
