    I had my nickname painted on the front of my bugshield back in the 1990's. Was at a World of Outlaws race and looked back at my truck from the grandstands in time to see a drunk grab the middle of the bugshield to steady his drunk ass and he broke it. Mine was black on a black 1991 Ford Nite pick-up. I miss that truck. :(

Cheers

    AVS low profile. Bought it for “looks”. It certainly doesn’t protect a thing lol. However, I like it :)
