Bug guard question

[siume99]

I love my Lund Interceptor bug guard.  At the very outside edges of the guard I can see a hint of my headlights.  It is nice to see when my headlights are on...........during the day (I thought I'd nip that smart remark before it got started)    I think taillights are important to have on during the dawn/dusk/light overcast/fog.  

 

I have a question about a modification I'm planning on doing.  Is it wise to drill a few tiny holes on the underside of the guard?  I was thinking 1/16" or 1/8" holes in the middle.  My driveway slopes under our house, so anytime it rains or I wash my truck water collects in the guard.  Then when I open my hood, it pours out on both sides!   :angry: With snow and winter coming, I see this a  potential problem.  I'd like the water to find its way out before it freezes.  Any ideas are welcome.

My Lund has rather large openings at the bottom where the headlights meet the grille on each side and it doesn't seem to collect water. I sure don't think a few holes in the middle would hurt.

I've seen some bugsheilds that say any modification or drilling will void the warrenty.  You your concerned about the warrenty, then I wouldn't do it.

 

Now that that has been said, I would probably do it my self if I was in your situation.

I have the lund on my truck and it made it through last winter (temps in the minus) fine.  No problems with the bug guard

Does anyone find it a pain to open their hood after it just rained?  When I do, I have a waterfall on each side of my truck!  :sneek:

do you have it on there now w/ the brushbar?  Cuz, my hood keeps getting dingers

yep its a tight fit but it works

 

The grill guard did rub off some black paint so i put a small strip of foam between the guard and the bug shield
