    Used these on all my Tacomas. Never experienced any problems. Maybe just dumb luck.

    Wow, that bugdeflector looks pretty good on that white! It gives some additional depth and compliments the sport hood very well. Just placed an order!

    BE WARNED ABOUT THUS PRODUCT DAMAGING YOUR GRILLE!!!!!!!

    So I ordered a Bugflector 2 about 2 weeks ago and when I recieved it the holes were off and it wasn't centered on the hood. So after a week of bitching at autoanything about it they finally sent me another one. So the other day I go to put it on and it was pretty centered but I also noticed how poor of a design this thing actually is becuase idk if you guys noticed at all but when you slam the hood it will put two crease marks in your grille at these two top edges!!!!! What a horrible design and I will be going back to autoanything today for a full refund on this shitty product!!! Here is the picture where to look at on your hood!! Check it out and see if you have two nice indentations there!!!!

    2016-01-26 07.29.26.jpg

    Here is the two points that come in contact with the grille where it puts a mark on it!!!!

    I asked Toyota of Dallas, http://trdparts4u.toyotaofdallas.com/Scripts/default.asp and they told me Toyota did not have one out yet for the 2016's. No problem though as I originally was not planning on putting one on my truck.

    Just shot the saleslady from SiriusXM down. I'm not paying to listen to the radio when I can listen to my local Classic Rock station for free. Told her she could shut it off now if she wanted to.

    I just looked at my neighbors taco who has the avs and hit wasn't touching those edges at all. Looks like you might have gotten a bad batch but hopefully auto anything will fix this for you.

    An easy fix might be to take a lighter to that edge and just flatten it out.

    Sadly, I am on my 3rd one. Two from Autoanything and one warranty replacement from Lund directly. All have had the same problems as you describe. I put one of the rubber bumpers on each side where rubbing, while the Weather tech one arrives.
