Installation

A well-designed bug deflector hood shield protects your vehicle in two ways: First, it shields the leading edge of your hood from stones and other debris borne by the wind or thrown up by other vehicles, keeping your hood free of dings, dents and chipped paint. Second, the lip of the shield redirects airflow enough to propel bugs and debris up and over your vehicle, instead of crashing and splattering into your windshield, preserving and maintaining your visibility and keeping your windshield free of chips and scratches. The Bugflector Hood Shield is one of the best-selling automotive products in North America because it’s so effective at both tasks.

Besides protection, the Bugflector’s low-to-medium aerodynamic profile and smoked finish will perfectly complement your truck, van or SUV’s appearance. The Bugflector is custom designed to perfectly match the contours of your hood and be aerodynamically efficient. It's made of rugged impact modified acrylic to resist wear and tear, so you’ll get many years of protection, and installs simply and quickly with 3M double-sided tape, depending on application. Once installed, you’ll find that the included rubber bumpers will keep the shield from contacting the body, to protect the paint finish, and the off-the-hood design enables you to keep your vehicle clean and waxed easily.

The Bugflector is car wash safe; however automatic “brush-style” car washes should be avoided. Cleaning the shield is easy with soap and water, and cleaning solvents or other chemical products should not be used. The Bugflector comes with everything required for installation, including hardware and detailed instructions, and it’s covered by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty applies to the original purchaser as long as he or she owns the vehicle on which the product is installed.

Looks Great!
This item fit perfectly on my 13 Tahoe, the holes line up and looks great! If you are replacing the factory one, you may have additional brackets that need to be removed to allow this to fit properly. Toss the brackets but keep the screws that thread into the inserts built into the underside of the hood. The hardware included for me at least. the screws were too small, so I used the old factory ones. I didn’t also need the included bushings that have threads in them. The only thing I ended up using was the clear bump stops to protect the paint

AVS Bugflector Hood Shield
I bought this bugflector for my Avalanche and was very easy to install. I even let my son (15 years old) install them on my truck. The bug shield looks great and I am very pleased. Thanks again for your service and fast delivery. You have a customer for life! Dennis

Sleek and aggressive styling along with ding protection
Fit my Toyota Tacoma like a glove. It took not very much time and effort to get the job done. Protects against bug splatter on the windshield and dings on the hood. Made of solid material and holds up nicely. Once installed, you can notice the overall exterior look improvement. It’s sleek and tough. This is right what I needed to guard my rig while complementing its sleek and beefy exterior. Great purchase. Recommend this deflector for a purchase.

Needed a bug deflector for my Chevy Colorado
Found this bug deflector there when I was searching online to save time and read what people say. As for me, it’s one of the best bug shields on the market for a fraction of the price. The material it is made of is rather sturdy and it looks fantastic when installed. It boosted the exterior style of my Chevy as well as added a solid layer of protection from those pesky little animals that try to splatter on the windshield. It keeps me out of this annoying job of scraping them off the windshield. Also, it guards the hood against kicked-up debris and damage it can bring. I’m pleased with how it does the job and expect it to serve me for many years.

Did Not Fit My 2021 Colorado
Not impressed. Was not made for 2021 models evidently because it didn't fit well at all for me. Got frustrated with it and decided to send it back.

Just Go Buy OEM or Another Brand
Holes do not line up. Horrible job in manufacturing. You would think as a company, they would know where to drill the holes or even the little dip to clear the hood latch. Unbelievable. I will take my lost of 46 bucks and never tempt to buy AVS again.
