    Here's a couple of pic's. One with, the other without. Just wondering what you guys think looks better. I actually like it without the bugshield. Probably should have washed it first. Just installed the grillcraft and plasti-dip on the grill.

    Nay...I used to really like mine and now I can't believe that I had it on for so long. They look like crap.

    Another one on the Nay boat, we're gonna need more chips and salsa on this boat I suspect... and more beer!

    If bugs and rock chips etc are a real concern, I would invest in some 3M along the leading edge of the hood before I ran a bug shield. I've never liked them.

    yay

    I put one on my truck earlier this year & I think it looks really good with the super white color of the truck. Like anything else, it's all in what you like regardless if it's the majority or not. On your truck I personally think it looks good & better with, but once again my opinion. :cheers:

    Nay, not a big fan of the mustache on a Tacoma. I'd get a 3m clear film cover before I get a bug shield.
