    Installed the AVS Hood Protector. I think it compliments the Prinsu. I actually had a tiny rock chip already in 16K miles, so hopefully the avs will be funtional as well. :thumbsup:

    Hope it works well. I’ve been considering this too after getting a decent sized rock chip in the first 10k.

    Hopping into this would make me feel like we're about to air drop into a Central-American jungle to hunt The Predator.

    Very low profile, I like it. Does it bugger up the rubber seal between grill and hood ?, how involved was the install?, thanks

    Question- does the upper row of MH screws sit flush/recessed or proud of the surface?

    I have the larger bug deflector and it’s been doing it’s job at protecting my hood from rock chips. However if you think a couple of chips in the goods bad after a few thousand miles just frigging wait till you see what your bedside’s look like after 80K... my rear fender flares look like they have bad acne and there’s quite a few little dings all around the box sides. I’m on stock wheels, stock width tires and I still have all my OEM mud-flaps surprisingly, it’s about 50/50 on road vs off road miles though. I couldn’t imagine what the truck would look like with a wider stance.

    The fit was almost perfect. It uses 3M auto grade doublesided tape, so you just expose small areas or tape, position it, then pull your tape tabs and apply pressure to help the bond. AVS includes a prep solution to use first, guessing it eats wax and surface contaminents that might keep it from sticking. Fairly simple install maybe a 2 out of 10 in difficulty (for me). 1/10 if you are mechanically inclined. :cheers:
    I really do like the low profile. Honestly, It's more for looks but i'm hoping it may save a few nicks and chips on the hood.

    edit.. where it meets the rubber seal, it seemed to fit great.

    It would look like shit. And that is very surprising you have all the kicked up with stock wheels, tires and flaps. I can honestly say I drive through water, mud etc and have the same setup as you and it doesn't kick up on the sides at all

    Rearranged the garage a bit in preparation for the Lunar. Now the truck and the wife’s Outback will fit with plenty of room to get the kid in and out

    I'm sure it can go over a bit but I'm waiting for the Outback to get home. It'll come forward a bit too so I can still get at my workbench

    I thought the same. Looks like only a few inches to get out, and stuff on the wall.
