Terry 10-12-2003, 01:08 PM Hello all, I've got an '04 Silverado 2500HD and a bug problem. I need a bug deflector. Anyone have an opinion on the "best" one for the job? Thanks! T. Minn-Kota 10-12-2003, 04:47 PM Honestly, I don't think they make a bug deflector that actually will deflect bugs unless you want one that stands straight up and is about 6" tall. About the only thing that they do now is protect the front of the hood from rock chips. Gradyghost 10-12-2003, 04:59 PM To answer your question...go with the OEM from Gm because it will line up with the mounting holes and not rub or anything...IMHO> Finder9 10-12-2003, 05:53 PM Lund Interceptor lines up with holes in hood. 5 minute job. Paint chip protection. Bugs? Probably by accident. Roegs 10-12-2003, 10:14 PM I have a Driver Design and really like it. I did a lot of research when looking for one to put on my '03 GMC. I wanted one that would allow me to reach behind and wash the front of the hood (that eliminated GM's product), one with no added wind noise, and one that would not touch or rub on any of the hood paint. I tried a few others (Lund, Deflecta-shield), and ended up with the Driver Design. It uses metal brackets to attach the shield to the bottom of the hood. A few of the brackets touched the bottom of the hood at first , but I was able to re-adjust them with some washers. I've been very happy with it, and would buy another in a heartbeat!

JEBar 10-14-2003, 08:38 AM I have a Lund stainless steele one and it does a pretty good job ... Jim Victory Red 10-14-2003, 07:12 PM I went with the stampede brand. It sits higher than previous Lunds I own, no way for it to run either. Installation is a breeze and the price is great around 50. Anyhow it's downside, only so so for bugs and if you have loose weatherstripping from the factory it'll let you know. MICKD 10-16-2003, 10:25 PM I have a Lund Interceptor, I used the Lund Interceptor on 3 other trucks I had.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif No problems. I purchased a clear one and had it painted on the inside to match my truck.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif. rtquig 10-17-2003, 07:37 PM I have the Lund Stainless, did a good job, but I didn't like the look and took it off. Still sitting in the garage. tysmith 10-18-2003, 12:08 PM Go with a product like the Invinca... Otherwise, you'll just be cleaning bugs off of the windshield AND the bug attractor, er deflector...

I'd like to compare to the one I received. FWIW, I ordered one from Eric & recieved part # 12497075 which says it's for a 2001 Avalanche. The outter holes on this one I have don't even come close to fitting. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif Thanks for any insight! T.

The GM Accessory website shows that I should have received #12498547. thanks anyway, T. | ||
