Where did you get the hood deflector? I've seen them on ebay for $64 to $125, dealers in Canada charge $206.

Hi Wrigbay,
I bought it from my local Toyota dealership (Alexandria, Va) but they told me upfront that the hood deflector not an official Toyota part but will guarantee fit perfectly on the Venza. It cost $89.00 and it fits perfectly to the hood.

It take less then 30 minutes to install it and no drilling required... Four brackets fit within the existing holes under the center part of hood and four smaller clips hold them in place.

The only minor thing with the deflector is that it sits very close (1/4" at the lowest point) to the hood itself and you must stick at least two 3M Bumpons to prevent it from scraping the paint (I can't see how it would scrape paint but the direction said the bumpons must be used so I used just two of them).

I think it looks pretty cool though . Here is the close up photo from the side

Here is where I got my hood deflector

Call Mike Clancy at Springfield Toyota Parts Center (703) 269-1405. The Venza deflector is $89.99 but I don't know how much the shipping is though.

Thanks,
Paul

 

Looking good!

Hi all,
Finally, I got to install the bug and stone hood protector. I want to load the photos here but not sure how to do it. I tried linking this URL from "flickjr" but I don't know if it will work or not. I think the hood protect sits just a little too close to the hood itself but I am not sure how to rise them up a little higher to my taste without breaking it.

Here is the photo... hopefully it works:

Looks great Paul!!
