Put it on after first paint chip a week after I got it. Its AVS brand. I like it. Easy 3M install

I got mine from the Chevy Accessories website. Took this picture when I swapped out my bow tie emblem to the black one. You can see the old one by the hood deflector so don’t think those little spikes are part of the molding. But I love mine! Looks awesome.

Does it use the 3m tape or Clips?

i have an AVS bugflectorII. it was ok install once i got some plastic push clips that were

actually big enough to hold it in place the provided plastic rivets are useless..

i will try to get pics up later it actually looks ok on it and the smoke color blends pretty well with the satin steel paint scheme

What size / type / brand push pins you use? 

I have an AVS bugflector coming this week.   Might as well be ready for it.

3M Tape it’s very secure and doesn’t give at all.

Looks great!  How's the wind noise at 60+ mph?

I just had my truck ceramic coated and not sure if the 3M tape will hold or not. Plus I'm not crazy about putting something on the truck with sticky tape. Can yours be taken completely off without opening the hood or is it pretty secured? Yours looks great!

Ceramic coated, clear bra on the bumper and grill, auto vent shade.

You can definitely tell the difference in added wind noise.

It can be taken off completely without opening the hood - tt's attached with the same material that the truck badges/decals are affixed with so there's no quick removing it. They provide you with alcohol wipes -- maybe it'll help with the ceramic coating? And thanks!

i used like a 1\2 to 3\4 long by 1\8-3\16  Christmas tree push pins i had laying around the house ... sorry haven't gotten pics up  truck is the wife's DD and she gets home after dark daily

also when i used these push pins they were a bit bigger then the sent plastic rivets so i had to gentle tap them into the holes in the hood with a rubber mallet just until they would hold the shield
