Bug Shield Suggestions
Hi all,
Did some searching, but didn't really find what I was looking for.
I'm considering to get a bug shield for my 98 limited runner and I would appreciate your suggestions/recommendations for one that will look nice on my rig. I would prefer one that has a sleeker look to it and fully wraps around from each of the corner lights.
Thanks!

I'm partial to the AVS version since it offers the coverage w/o being too tall,fit the curve of the hood nicely and you can easily fit a hand behind it to clean it and it won't hold road debris between the defelctor and your paint.
You can use the supplied bumpstops on the hood but they aren't really needed as the deflector doesn't come in contact with the hood even at high speeds.

Thanks for the replies!
From the pics you guys posted, I have decided that I will either get an AVS or lund avenger series.
Could anyone recommend a good website to order one from?
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies!
Clemsonfan15: Thanks for the pic! I like how the OME bug shield follows the shape of the hood. And it's not too tall or short IMO. If I find a good one for sale at a reasonable price I'll go with OME.
Haddix: Thanks for the link. I emailed the seller with a few questions. If he can ship to my area and the guard is in good condition, I'll consider getting it since it's within my budget.

Yeah, everything costs more here...shipping things, gas, food, etc. I guess that's just a downside to living on an island.
