    I know a few members have asked about this hood visor/shield/deflector? whatever it is.... I liked the look so I bought it.
    Installed it today in about 5 minutes. Fits flush with the hood with the only space being the double sided 3M tape that secures it.

    Heres a pic.

    Edit: here's a couple more pics, it was hard to get the camera to focus but on the first pic you can see the 3M towards the center which
    fills in any space that would have been there.

    Well, I like it. How about dirt and shit getting behind it and scratching things up? I like it.

    The tape runs along all the edges so it serves as a gap guard so to say. The space between is almost unnoticeable. I'll get a better close up.

    Looks nice man!

    On a side note and not to hijack your thread but could you point me to where you got the light bar for your truck. I'm sure it has been discussed Ad nauseam but I'm new to the site and really like the look of your bar. Thanks in advance. [Hijack over]

    I haven't seen this before, I like the way it protects the front of the hood, but doesn't stick up to get ripped off on the trail. Can you even see it from the drivers seat?
    Damn it, gotta get this now?
