Why doesn’t Toyota provide their own OEM ?
Hood bug deflector
- Thread starter Dr. T
- Start date
Well, they should make them available in our country. 
They are if you order it from overseas...........Well, they should make them available in our country.
The one I installed has little stanchions that 3m adhere to the hood, which lasted about 5 minutes. Initially I was going to try and fab some replacements that wrap around the hood like another manufacturers. But after this winter and the effect of the vibration acting as an ice breaker/remover, I've decided to see how long it lasts.......
True. But, why would you want one if the film is in place????
“PPF” is for paint protection from small rocks hitting the hood
“Bug deflector” is used to deflect bugs and small rocks hitting the windshield. There are 2 installation types of bug deflector : 3M tape and metal clips
Who already had full PPF on hood, must use metal clip type.
I like the look and the use of bug deflector, but not have it because I still concern about dirts collected under the deflector ( it’s just me
. Many gang members here love it )
Did one on my rig. Lesson learned for the 3m type. Be carful when applying. Once down if your placement is off. Difficult to reposition the sections.

Bug deflectors
I installed OEM Toyota hood protector last Monday. PW421-60013. Imported from Europe. Looks very slick and I like it. Minimum order was two, so I have a second one for sale. Do you mind me asking what you paid? I am in Houston, TX if you're interested.

^^^ They all do the job in variable looks and prices. Pick one based on your taste and wallet. They are optional and not required...
I will say the 60013 deflector has a draw back........ There are two little stanchions that double sided tape to the hood, which would be perfectly acceptable if they would stay stuck to the hood, they didn't. Even after reapplying 3M tape they didn't. There are also some rather large clear rubber bumpers that attach to the underside of the deflector to prevent too much deflection at speed. Those are the saving grace! It started flapping shortly after the installation but the bump stops prevented it from collapsing and I figured, I'd just live with it until it broke and I'd replace it etc.......... Happy to say after 6k + miles, it still flaps a bit but no cracks in the plastic or scratches on the hood where the stanchions are etc...... and I'll live with it till it fails. Works great in the winter for keeping ice buildup off the deflector.
One of these days I plan on making some stanchions that bolt to the underside of the hood like another brand.
I’m going to make a dedicated post here shortly but due to lack of bug guard options we have in the US, I decided to have some manufactured to fit like / replicate Toyotas that are offered over seas as I preferred the OEM look.
