Auto Ventshade [AVS] Bugflector Hood Shield / Protector | Fits 1996 - 2002 Toyota 4Runner | High Profile Bug Deflector - 1 pc., Dark Smoke | 23041

Give some protection to my 3rd Gen 4runner hood. But it actually looks good too.

I'm 70+ female and it was Super Easy To Install ~ ~ The one I had before had broken after many years ~ been driving this awesome rig for 25 years (next month) ~ I have 316,542 miles on it and there has been MINIMAL repairs ~ you know ~ Timing Belt, Rear Seal Leaked, Changing Spark Plugs and Wiring ~ need to replace Rear Shocks but doing that soon.... this rig has bounced around a lot of miles and pulled an 8x5 Fully enclosed Aluminum Trailer to Texas/Colorado and back to Oregon ~ but a great 3400 engine ~ was told it was of the best they put in these !

Replacing and old, faded one and this worked perfect. I like the lower profile of this new one. No issues or complaints.

After looking at them all I picked this one because it's the best shape and fit for my '99. Now, installed I can see I was right. It looks cool and no trimming required.The only think is the mounting hardware. So what comes with it...nope. It wouldn't work at all on mine and even if it had it would be way too flimsy for my liking (the screws are plastic.) So, as others have said your two options are:1) Sheet metal screws (get ones that are small enough they can't go through into your upper hood and do NOT try and drill a pilot unless you have a small bit that again, will not go through the outside of your hood.2) Get some plastic pop rivets! I found some at Ace that only needed minor trimming on the sides and they work awesome! After I installed it with four of these I didn't even bother with the sheet metal screws. (See pics of pop tab below.)For piece of mind, when the hood is down I don't think it could come off but still...go with a better mounting option than what comes with it.So, even though you really do have to figure out a better mounting option it's still the best shaped visor out there and considering the price it's not too big of a deal to do a little work on the mounts.

Niceeeee product it fit perfectly

Looks good! Fitment was great. couldn't complain. Highly suggest this for your 4Runner! Quick and Easy Install

Easy install, looks great, and long lasting! I live where there are 4 seasons with snow in the winter and 100’s in the summer and this Bug deflector handled the conditions well! The main purpose for buying was to cover up a dent on my rig, but it deflects bug well too! Just as one would expect, I am very happy with my purchase.

Not even an AVS logo included so I’m to believe it’s an absolute FAKE …. Buyer beware How am I suppose to know this is authentic? Feel like I got ripped off
