    So many bugshield threads, so little time.....I posted this in another thread. It's hard to beat a clear bugshield if that's the route you end up going.


    I don't like bugshields myself, but I had to put one on to protect the hood from stone chips, so I went with a clear one. You can hardly see it.

    It's a GrilleCraft mesh grille, top and bottom. Got it from Luke at TruckAlterations.

    I took my toyota bug guard off by popular demand!!! Now it's just collecting dust in my garage! Like Marc M, I also ordered a clear one a few days ago.;) I really liked the way his looked.

    I took my OEM Toyota bugflector off. I liked the way it looked but didn't trust it based on posts of chipped paint.

    on a side note...do you think the yellow fog lights lens would look good on my truck? Looking at these pictures, I think it would!

    I've got a clear bra, it's made by llumar. I really like it because it offers awesome protection from bugs which is all I'm worried about.
    It's very hard to notice. I debadged my truck to make it look clean, the last thing I want is some cheap looking plastic hanging off my hood, JMO.
    If you can see the redline, that's where the clear bra sits.
