    See I have AVS on my S10 and also my old ferd focus and had zero issues with AVS in the past. I must have just gotten a bad one this time, and it pissed me off a bit.

    AVS and the Weathertech are the exact same thing. The label even has both names on it that it ships with. Just FYI, absolutely no difference between the two.

    I had a bug deflector from Lund back in 93 on my toyota 4x4 pickup. All it was good for was hood shake at highway speeds, and loss of mpg. I still got a crack windshield, and spattered bugs. The only good thing was no paint chips on the nose of the truck that the deflector covered.
