Bug/Rock Deflector

tmf6902 · April 23, 2004

I'm looking for a bug/rock deflector for a 2002 2500HD. I want something that's not to noticible and really fits the contours of the hood. The last bug deflector I really paid attention to was the one that was on my blazer when I bought it...It was red, and went straight up from the hood...So I'm sure they're a little more modern now. Anyway I waxed my truck today(pics to come soon) and I noticed the front of the hood is all sorts of dinged up from rocks and other crap, so I figure I'll invest in one. What do ya'll recommend?

thanks

I put one on my 03 burb from Auto-Vent shade. Very low profile and really fits the contour of the hood. Got is a Advanced Auto for like $30. It's got a life time warrenty against breaking or cracking.

Lund also own auto vent shade. I have the Lund Trident. It fits the contours of the hood well but also allows room to wax under it. They also make a snug fit version.

How do they attach?? is tape strong enough to hold it, or does it attach mechanically somehow?

My sisters ,brothers, girlfriends uncel saw him passout at 31 flavors last night. i think it might be serious. If you understand great if not dont try to.

Most attach with mounting screws. There are mounying hole already in the edge of the hood. They come with the grommets and screws. About a 10 minute install with only a screwdriver.

I have a Auto ventshade Bug Flector II on the 94. It attached with 2 sided tape and optional screws. I used the screws to be safe, but my friend has had just tape on his '95 since he bought the truck. It had been there a while before he bought it 2 years ago, still holds strong.

Ever think about using the 3M clear tape? I have it on the front end of my Tahoe and its great...no rock chips and you cant even see it....>Covered my painted bumper(Z71) mirror caps and leading edge of my wheel flares....

what happens when you wax against the tape... I would think there would be a white line of wax against the tape if it were on a dark colored hood or swirl marks from the wax on top of the tape.... betcha the tahoe you mentioned is white and my opinion is not valid now

The Trident uses clips that attach under the hood. It's completely clear of the paint and has vents that allow airflow under the deflector.

When you wax you might get a small line of wax on the seam of the tape....you then take a q-tip dipped in water and run it on the seem and it completely removes the line...you wax over the tape and you can barely see it...my truck is Pewter.... This stuff is awesome
