Anyone have the avs aeroskin or any bug deflector on their truck and have any pictures or opinions?

 

Long and short of it is that the roads up north such on the winter.

 

Any help is appreciated.

I have tried to post this reply three times. This site does not accept just any picture. Anyway, I went with the AVS aeroskin, follows the hood lines well, protects the hood, and does not disrupt airflow Put a smoke one on a friends truck and it looks good too.

Looks great in person, many people think it is OEM. You can stop by a truck accessories store and look at them on your truck.

 

And yes it uses 3M tape, very easy to install.

I am very happy with mine. I bought both the weather tech and the AVS and compared them with just a test fit and selected the AVS. It looks great IMO.

 

My pictures suck... I am going to try and get some better ones today.

I'm not happy the way the Aerostar or the Weather Tech bug deflector clips to the edge of our hood. I am probably going to go at the AVS Aeroskin hood protector something new for me, but going to try it.

 

Swazimoto,

Do you have the AVS bug deflector or the AVS Aeroskin hood protector installed?

 

Thanks-

Rich

I went with the aero skin. I compared the lot of them. I recommend that if you go with that you get a grease pen and line it up nicely dry and mark an alignment line before following the install recommendations. I was very careful and came out 1/4 inch to the one side. You can take it off and put new 3m tape down but its work.

For my '13 HD I went with the standard style Bugshield. Reason is even though it may disrupt the air flow some, it covers the front edge of the fenders also, unlike the Aeroskin. Otherwise the Aeroskin would have won!

 

Now to get the darn thing installed!!! Just haven't had the time!!!

 

Good luck deciding!

Somebody likes black.

Guilty! This is my first vehicle in many that is not black. This one is Iridium Metallic. It looks pretty dark with the high contrast due to the snow tho.

I installed the bugflector II. While I think it protects the truck a little better, it whistles like crazy above 80km/h. I still hear it over the music.

 

My super quiet 2014 just got louder...but its almost worth it in the winter going through the mountain passes

Sweet truck! Love the tires, flares and colour combo you have going.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
