Question Bug Deflector?

Just wondering if anyone has put a bug deflector on their RA? I was wondering how it would look, and I am getting some nasty rock chips on my hood. Let me know? Thanks!

I bought one a couple weeks ago, but my lazy *** hasn't got around to it yet, I'll put it on as soon as it stops raining and take some pix

I saw one on the lot here in Kelowna. It looked sharp! It follows the shape of the hood all the way around. It doesn't look like it would deflect much pass the windsheild though. It sits quite low to the hood. Will help with prevent some rock chips on the front of the hood. Thats about it.

There not used for styling, they serve a purpose..I am interested in getting the rain guards and the sunroof guard.. I dont think they look too bad, id rather have them on. I just hope I dont run into Irh35 on the road.

I'm more pissed at the guy who opened his car door into mine and left a scratch then the rock chips that happen nomater what. I've only had the car for a few months and some *** dings the side of it in parking lot.

I felt the same way John Travulta did in pulp fiction when he discribed his feelings about someone keying his car when he got it out of storage. It would have been worth it to see it happen just so i would know what ***** it was

i have a deflector and it does work. I had 2 paint chips before it was put on and i also have a little dent from another car's door. the deflector looks 'agressive' and does match a black car. i'll post a picture in a few days.
