No charge for the grammar lesson.

Lose the bug deflector. I have one and hate it. AND it's proven to be a detriment. I was wheeling and a small fallen pine got caught under it. It lodged the base into the ground and shoved itself under the deflector, scratching the hood nicely. Had that stupid deflector not been there, it would have just brushed over the hood.

...and it's ugly.

I had the VS BugFlector II and it was chipping my paint on the front edge of my hood. Not so much the deflectors fault more the crappy paint.

Anyway the bugflector really didn't do much in of keeping the windshield clean.

not worth it IMHO.

Yup. Bug deflectors don't really do much. Bugs and rocks will still hit your windshield.

Toku, I'm so glad you took yours off.

I'm gonna have to agree with Grimm here. I don't usually like deflectors, but it looks right on your truck.

I gotta ask, does it even work? Wondering if it will match on mine.

^Nevermind: I read thru the posts after I posted this.
