    I got it put on, and its 10X better then my stupid LUND one. I couldnt even clean under it, and it was stupid big. This one is way slimmer and nicer.
    Enjoy!!

    Thanks Guys! :D
    Im happy with it, even though it was a biatch to put on. They give these stupid plastic clips and plastic screws, that just suck. But I hope it stays put.

    Yup, the OEM Toyota deflector comes with those too and know exactly what you mean about the install. When I installed mine, the clips kept falling out on the opposite side that I'd be working on while I was holding up the other side trying to get that side on. Finally found a trick to doing it and got all ten of 'em installed. In any case, I much prefer having the small clips and screws over adhesive tape to hold it on.

    Awesome dude. Finally the ordeal is over.

    I hate to sound like a nagging chick, but could you take an "after" pic close to the same angle as the "before" one? I'd really like to see the difference between the two.

    My deflector has a large crack in it (passenger side only of course) and is about to need replacing.

    Other than the little detail at the end of the "before" one, am I missing something? They look very similar.

    Either way, the truck looks sick.

    Yeah, the Old one is way bigger. The old LUND one sits lower to the hood, so you cant clean under it, sucks ass. And the new one is higher off the hood and is smaller width wise.
    I would def. go with this BugFlector II. Its a good one. OH! and its alot more sturdy, the other one is thinner and flexed alot.
