Would love to see some pics of it installed once you get a chance!
I know it attaches directly to the face of the hood, there’s no space between the deflector and the hood like the old ones. So there’s that dilemma I’m having sticking it right to the paint.
These pics are of one of my sons 2016 F-150 SuperCrew as you can see it’s an AVS one and it attaches to the vehicle just like it will attach to a Bronco Sport. If this helps anyone make a choice.

it looks super clean, mostly wondering on the BS how it looks with regards to that sort of “continuing the grill over the hood” look that the Aeroskin II hasThese pics are of one of my sons 2016 F-150 SuperCrew as you can see it’s an AVS one and it attaches to the vehicle just like it will attach to a Bronco Sport.

I guess that all depends what color Bronco Sport you have ? I’m sure it’s just going to blend right in on my Bronco Sport due to my color is Shadow Black, so you probably can’t even notice it on mine.
These are just a few of the pictures I saved to remember what this deflector looks like since it’s the one I like most
Thanks for that info Joel, I didn’t even No that EGR made a bug deflector, we’ll I just ordered one. I’ll have to wait an see how it mounts. Thanks, Steve

I'd like to see a close up of that when you get it. Can't find a pic of the BS
Sure thing, I just don’t see how it’s going to attach to the underside of the hood unless you remove the rubber seal that’s there and then use those holes I guess. But we shall soon find out when I get it.

I’ve had them on most of my vehicles. That being said, I haven’t decided whether to put them on my BS BL. I’m not a big fan of open windows while driving and using the climate control works fine for me. If you choose to put the guards on, I would suggest getting the in channel type. I’ve seen what the adhesive can do to the finish when they are removed. A friend bought a used t-bird that had them. They were on crooked, so she had them removed. Ended up having to put new ones on to hide the damage to the paint. Was it all the adhesive’s fault?
No idea, but I won’t be chancing it on a new vehicle.

What I need to know is, do hood protectors deflect bugs and other stuff from striking the windshield? I drive I-5 through farm country and have to spend a lot of time scraping bugs off the window!

From my experience with all kinds on trucks, suv's, minivans.... Partially.
They do help with some, but there are still bugs that make it through and smack the windshield.
I have the aeroskin ii on my BS, and I still get bugs on the glass. But not as many.

Counter point, I've had the in channel ones, and they've permanently distorted the rubber surround on the windshield. So that when I eventually had to remove them because the broke, the surround didn't seal against the glass very well any more. But also have seen theadhesion promoter and adhesive combo destroy some trim on a friends vehicle... They both have issues.I’ve had them on most of my vehicles.

Having said that, I have the Ford ones on my BS
The main reason I use them is to be able to keep my windows cracked open a bit when it's 100+ here in texas. And thanks to mother nature typically when it gets that hot here it leads to rain in the afternoon.Sponsored
