    What color bug deflector would be best on a white 2014? I am leaning toward smoke.

    Also, lots of brands. What are pros and cons of those out there? Seems like they should be fairly close. Not a lot of design difference.

    Thanks in advance for the help in deciding.

    I used to have a 2006 Toyota Sienna. I simply bought the Toyota bug deflector. It was black. From the front it looked like a smiling David Niven. Remember the days of the pencil thin mustaches?

    I just got the EGR Superguard in Matte Black, and am really happy with it. I put it on my 2015 Blue Ribbon Metallic, SR5, and I think it matches the front on the SR5 really well.

    If you do get that model, there are 5 screws that you use to mount the bug shield. Two of the five screws are slightly different on the tips. Those screws go on the outside most ends of the bug deflector. It is the ends that you will install the special clips. I didn't initially see the difference in the screws, and had to take take out a couple that I had already installed to find the special one. Wasn't a big deal at all, but just something to watch for if you happen to select that model. I agree, when I went through trying to pick one out, they all start looking the same. What sold me was the Matte Black color option, so that is why I went with EGR.

    First month of ownership... This month I'm removing front air dam, and also Rhino lining the bed.
    Have you considered 3M Scotch Guard protective film. This stuff is sold by dealers add-on at time of sale but is easy to install yourself. Works great and is invisible.
