I have the Vent Shade Bugflector II. I bought it a Pep Boys for around $50.

Those both look good on those trucks. I saw one on the trucks at the lot and I was not crazy about them at the time, but I like those.

Lots of photos of different kinds in this thread http://toyotanation.com/forum/t122165.html

You can try searching for wade, bugshield, and hood protector for more. I have the Wade and haven't had any problems but some folks have trouble getting it to fit.

Ooops, my bad. I was lookin at both, but it was a while back and thought that the bugflector II was the low pro one. Whatever model I have, its the low profile one. I think it looks the best, and happens to be the cheapest. The full height one might be more functional, i still get splats on the windshield but no chips on the hood. Thanks for pointing out the fuggup. I dont wanna mislead anyone.

Yeah, that's the Bugflector I, low profile. Looks nice as well.
gahunter, Here is a better shot of mine so you can compare and decide which you like, you can see the "ski jump" is more pronounced.

hood/bug deflector

Read the previous posts and problems related to the WADE and the good vibes from the STAMPEDE product. Has anyone had any problems closing the hood or damaging the paint with the BUGDEFLECTOR? What are the pros and cons on the two different models of BUGDEFLECTOR?
