What bug deflector has everyone nought...the one from xterraparts.com or a different brand (Lund, etc.)?

I got the Nissan one...

My only beef is that it's bronze, and not grey. I think a few folks here have bought other brands, though.

The GTS one seems to fit perfectly. Don't really care for the GTS logo on the side, but that can easily be scraped off. I heard that BugShield fits very well as well. Not sure of the BugShield color, but the GTS is dark smoke colored.

I've got the BugShield, it fits really good and it's black to match my SuperBlack X...

I have the one from Ventvisor. I like it better than the others that I have seen because it fits the contours of the hood nicely. Unlike the Nissan one.

I bought the Nissan deflector from Xterraparts.com. It looks great and doesnt require any drilling.

I bought my GTS bug deflector last week
from Autoaccessories.com for about $40
dollars. I got them yesterday afternoon
and installed them within 15 minutes.
The dark smoke color looks great. I
went to get gas this morning and got
two complements on them... I'm now
waiting for my GTS rear window deflector
and side window shields and I'm set!
I'll post an image once I've got all
these cool accessories up on my new
baby!

Did you buy the Bugflector II? I'm hoping the smoke is close to the Nissan Weathershields.

A picture of the GTS bug deflector is below. I know the picture isn't very good since it was taken at night, but you can see the basic shape and color (it is dark smoke colored).

Just updated the picture to another one.

Thanks Airbutchie. Yes, it is a Waag brush guard. I bought it from xterraparts.com, but you would save a bundle in shipping charges if you buy it locally (even if it is a few dollars more). It took UPS over 3 weeks to finally get the part to me. The first one they sent out was returned to them completely damaged. Like I said before, you're better off buying locally.

I bought a Nissan smoke color deflector from a dealership for around $60. It requires no drilling and an easy install.

Blue,
I bought mine about a year ago, at that time smoke was the only color available.

The bug deflector they have at http://www.xterraparts.com looks smoke colored or gray to me, not bronze like some people got!

Here is a picture of it, http://www.xterraparts.com/onlinestore/graphics/00000001/BugGuard_BigPic.jpg

Clickety, click! One is now on its way to my house!

I talked to Steve about that a month or so ago and they still had the bronze ones at that time. I'll call again tomorrow during the day to see if they're now carrying the smoke.
