Sierra Bug Guard Nbs

[jyoungiii]

I am looking for some advice on the GM Bug Deflector for the GMC Sierra NBS. I have a black truck and looking to install a smoke bug guard but don't' want it to cover the top portion of the grill.

 

Does anyone know if the GM accessory Bug Guard covers up the top of the grill? If not how does this install, do I have to take off the chrome piece attached to the hood? Is this protector sturdy? If not any recommendations on aftermarket? I would rather have none if it covers the chrome on the grill, but winter will be here soon and road salt does a number on the hood.

Here is my GM brand bug guard that the dealer installed pre-delivery. It is in Chrome and do not know the part number, but it is GM Accessories. It does NOT cover any of the chrome on the grill.

Awesome... I did see that on your truck from a different post, but the front view shows it much better. Thank you for the front shot of your truck! Looks good! I'm looking at the same guard only different color. It looks like they must have taken the chrome off the hood to install. Any problems on the highway with noise?

No, I don't think they had to remove anything to install it. But I am not certain as I wasn't there. yes, I do get the windshield molding "tapping" people talk about. I just haven't gotten around to applying the double-sided tape under it yet. It's not too bad though.

 

Smoked is normally my choice too, but I like the Chrome with the Steel Gray.

The chrome looks good with your billet grill and chrome mirrors!

 

 

When you lift the hood the top chrome piece of the grill goes with it. I assume that there is plastic tabs on the bug guard that get pinched between the actual hood and the top chrome piece of the grill. Just wasn't sure how secure that method is? don't want it to blow off at 85mph...

I had the smoke one on my truck and I removed it. IT is too close to the hood for my taste. I like to be able to clean behind it. IT is just attached by 3M tape on the center section and the sides are held on by just one clip on each side.

 

I am either getting 3M film to cover my front part of my hood or I am getting a regular bug shield that covers the top part just for winter. I have a billet grill so it will not look too bad.

Can you get the 3M film at the local truck accessory place? Take it this protects against paint chips? Can it be removed ever without destroying the paint?
