When I bought my car it came with the bug deflector already on and I didn't have much choice with options because I bought a demo model.

I'm not sure that I like it, does anyone know if it comes off easily? Or do I risk wrecking the paint or something when I take it off?

I'm still not sure I want to take it off, I'm just wondering if I have the option or if its there for good.

LET ME SEE THIS BUG DEFLECTOR!!!

Is it the one that covers a good 6 inches of the front of your hood? If so, I may take it off your hands if you're willing to sell.

And yes, any bug deflector has to come off. There is a way.

I'm not sure yet if i'm going to take it off, I've sort of grown attached to it and since not many people have it I kinda like that it makes my car different, however, if I do decide to take it off, I'll let you know.

Chino want me to get a price for you from a dealership? Or check toyota.ca just remember those price include install, so your price would be cheaper.

I just got excited because I'm looking to get one second hand to save some dough. I don't want it bad enough to pay dealership price. :wink: Thanks anyways though, nice of you to offer!

I actually spoke with them by phone today. They are a OEM manufacture for the domestic auto industry. The only reason I didn't order is that I am not shore how it would look on my HB. On the other hand I do like the looks of the CA deflector even though it seems that most folks up there don't after reading several posts concerning the same?
