Bug deflector

Anybody know where to get a bug deflector that installs between the leading edge of the hood and the front fascia? Tried MacNeil with no luck.

They don't actually deflect a lot of bugs if your looking for windshield protection. If your looking to keep them and stones off the front edge of the hood the 1/2 bra will do that plus the newer ones have an aerodynaminc trailing edge that can divert air up which may also divert the bugs a bit.

Actually, while a great thought, doesn't actually do much. I use the Acura OEM bra on my 08 during the FL love bug season. When I first installed it, I thought cool, this will deflect some of the little fuggers off the windshield. Does not get far enough up into the airflow to to make much of a difference.

Good update ... I was wondering .. I have the oem one on mine but we don't get too much for heavier bugs..... Least the OEM one keeps the love bugs from glueing to your bumper.
