Front hood bug deflector

Saw this one on another post.

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...t=31936&page=1

This is from a company in Australia called ERG. I just got of the phone with their CA distribution cntr. The guy said he maybe able ot work out a group buy, as he's done for another car forum. However, they buy 50 pcs at a time. I told him I didnt know if I could get that kind of response here. He will look into a lesser qnty.


They have 2 types of these hood deflectors. A smoke colored one like you see here, and a carbon fiber one!

The carbon fiber is not true carbon fiber. It's silk screened on the inside of the deflector, so it doesnt get scratched off. The good part is that half of the pattern is not painted. That is their are 'holes' of unpainted areas. The Distr guy said that they have done custom work where they back paint the car color on to the deflector. It shows thru to the front. So you have a carbon fiber look with your car's paint color. Nice!

Anyone who is interested, or knows a site who sells these and willing to ship to the US, please post a response.

Do you know where the Ontario guy picked his up from? Would be easier to get it from a Canadian source than Australia!

I would be interested. Less coverage but I would guess much less expensive than a Clear Bra.
