Piece of Sh*t Bug Shield
So, I just got a color matched grille surround and grillcraft grille to throw on. The truck came with the bug shield on the front. I took it off tonight because I don't think it will look good with the grille. When I took it off I noticed the braces that held the shield on and connected to the underside of the hood scratched the paint off of my hood at the brace points!!!!!!
 I guess I should just get some Silver Streak Mica touch up paint and fix it???  such a stupid ass design flaw, why would they put a shield on that will scratch paint off of the truck???

I just put on a AVS. Five pins hold it on from the inside of the hood. Doesn't look like anything touches the paint. I heard the Toyota one for $99 was a problem. I will keep you informed. Not sure if I like the look. It takes away from the Scoop!!!!!!!!! Told the wife it was my dream muscle car look. I would love to supercharge it.

that sux!! sorry to hear that dude. my bug shield came with some plastic strips that you put between the brackets and the hood so as to not damage the paint. i'm gonna take it of though since I don't think it's keeping any bugs or little rocks off my windshield. hope my paint aint messed up.

I have not have any trouble with my factory Toyota shield. I installed my own and does not seem to be harming my paint.

 It doesn't damage the whole edge, just under the metal brackets.
