I just got the AVS = Auto Vent Shade (AVS Bug Deflector original) it is shorter accross the hood than the AVS Bug Deflector II. It just covers the hood portion and not the fenders. I like the smaller look. I'll have to take a pic and post it.

My is very dark so no you cannot see through it. I like it that way. It is sturdy and looks good with the tinted windows. I use it to tell me where the hood ends and estimate the bumber. Works great in my opinion.

Mines made by AVS, it's the short version:



I like it, and it was approx. $60.00.....

Bug shield, called a "Toyot" minus the A, came with my "every option on it" used 01. And it's great, very well worth it. Probably get 90 percent less bugs on the windshield with it. Even blasted a couple of errant birds overhead as well.

For whatever reason, most 3rd gens look better with them. I tried mine without for a while but put it back on. It's the stock Toyota one, and it's held up great considering the truck is 12 years old.

I want one for the sole purpose of preventing rock chips, seems Elton's Lund Avenger would be good. Did they discontinue them?

I dont know how long my bug guard has been on my truck but it looks great and I highly reccomend one as they are fairly cheap and add alot for the money.
