Removed the Bug Deflector

Hey guys, my first official "mod" I guess you could say was removing the bug deflector on the front of my truck. I guess it doesn't really classify as a mod since it was just unscrewing 6 screws and pulling the thing off.

Here's my before and after pics, I think it looks better without the deflector:

Before


After


So, the next thing I'll be doing is installing the single din sony radio I bought from a guy on these forums (thanks TW!), and after that I really want to grab some touch up paint and fill in the various scratches and knicks that come with a newly bought preowned vehicle. What I really need is a good how-to on the touch up paint process. Can you fine taco people help me?

 

Uhhhhhhhhhh no pics

 

That shoulda fixed it, did it?

 

I know those deflectors serve a purpose but they are ugly as hell IMO. Good move.

 

I had put one on and then taken it off because I like the way it looks with out it. It's up for sale if any one is interested. I have a pic of it in my photo gallery.

 

I love the look and function of my bug deflector.

 

in my experience, their function is to direct rocks away from my paint right into my windshield.

 

Which here in Fl gets you a free windshield!

Much cheaper than a hood repaint!

I like the look better w/o it too. But it does have function.......... the front of my '04 Highlander is so nicked up I wish I'd put one on it.

 

Looks good ...
