Bug Guard??? - TundraTalk.net

Black Tooth · 05-27-2008, 08:35 PM

1. Do they really reduce chips on your hood?
2. Dealer quoted me at $174.00, I asked about labor and he had to transfer me so I hung up. That seems high to me but I have heard not to purchase an after market that they "never" fit as well. I have seen them online for $40.

Any advice or input?

Thanks

Use the search feature... this has been discussed many times with some brands better than others...

ive got an after market on mine and it fits great if not better. . . but that might depend on the company

sxd45 · 05-27-2008, 10:46 PM

sparks has it for 111.00 I think?

ahH licks · 05-28-2008, 01:11 AM

yeah ive been needing to get one.

with like $50 you can get one at autozone. This is one of those items overpriced by the dealer.

Hey I went with the Lund interceptor II and it looks pretty sharp and contours the hood well. I can't remember which accessory.com store I bought it from. If you go with this one get a buddy to help it's an easy install but I broke one of the install plastic screws trying to do it myself, I called Lund and they sent me a new install kit free of charge. I installed almost immediately after buying my tundra and have yet to get any chips, knock on wood, well I hope this helps.

Went with the Lund also. Easy install and great fit. No dings on hood either. Ordered from J.C Whitney.

Mitch - Thanks. I saw that post. This may sound like a novice Tundra owner (as i am) but the year of the gaurd is 07. I tried to change it to 08 but it would not let me! Does that matter. I know that not much has changed but ya never know!

Thanks

I got EGR clear. Doesn't change the look of the front that much. I wish I've installed this sooner. I installed it after 2 rock chips on my windshield.

Should fit no problem. As I understand it 07->08 didn't change anything that would effect a bug shield.
