I 2nd that
I would settle for a link to a pic of an AVS Bug Deflector mounted on a 2010.
(Canadian Dealers won't even give me the time of day in my efforts to purchase their unit.)
AVS Bug Shield Installed on 2010 Mag. Grey 4 Runner
Installed my AVS Bug shield today. Easy install, 6 screws no drilling involved 10 minutes. They give you 6 plastic like mollys that get pushed into existing holes and then you screw into those. Piece of cake. Bought it at Autoanything.com Part# 25053 $60.95 w/free shipping.

AVS Bug Deflector
Sorry I didn't have time to post pics of the install but Sporty87 covered it very well. His machine looks great and truly, the install was about as simple as you could want - 10 mins max. It fits great and I decided not to use the plastic bump protectors. The AVS window vents are great also.

It's a painted on AVS logo!

Does the logo seem easy to remove with a little elbow grease? Don't do advertising so I try and remove wherever I can.
Looks like it will come off easy but I haven't had time to try yet.

Mine should arrive tomorrow. That AVS logo is short lived for this world. Maybe I can prevent melting the deflector itself in my efforts to remove the painted on logo. I have a nice slection of adhesive removers. Surely, one of them will do the trick without leaving too much residue behind.
Until then, I will be looking for posts by others who have been successful in this removal.
ETA: $60 is a real bargain. I was willing to pay $200 for the Canadian offering.

No More Logo
Removal of the AVS logo proved to be a breeze. I rounded up 4 different items from my arsenal of automotive products, and the very first one I tried cleanly removed the logo with minimal effort. The single swipe of a rag soaked in 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner 08984 caused the logo to magically disappear before my eyes. Maybe it was two or three swipes, but it literally was that simple.

After being the first person to order the Husky mud guards and have them sit in my house for weeks, I finally got a chance to install them over the weekend. The big issue holding me up was the SE Toyota running boards. Since the mud guards interfere with the front of the running boards I new it was going to be a lengthy install. The rear mud guards went on very easily and I didn’t even need to remove the rear wheels (just needed to use a small ratchet with a screwdriver tip for one of the screws. The biggest issue for me was installing the clear protective tape (I just personally don’t like installing stickers and stuff like that). Without the running boards, the fronts would have been a breeze to install. Unfortunately, I had to deal with the running boards. Here’s what I did.
1. Remove the running board from the brackets
2. Remove the two screws holding the plastic end caps on (one screw on each)
3. Slide the end cap off of each end (may need a tap with a mallet)
4. Slide off the rubber seal that seals the running board against the 4Runner
5. Slide the rubber grip top several inches off
6. Set miter box to about 27.5 degrees
7. Cut off 1.75” of the aluminum extrusion and deburr
8. Cut 1.75” off rubber seal and grip top
9. Slide rubber seal and grip top back into position (water and soap will help them slide)
10. Replace end caps
11. Drill new hole in the end that the cut was take from and reinstall the two screws
12. Reinstall the running boards on the brackets.

Anyone think the AVS Bug deflector would look good on a Black SR5? I would like to hear some thoughts about a black deflector on black paint. Hope it wouldn't be too much black.
I'm going to order one tomarrow for my black SR5. You can never have enough black on a black car lol.
Let me know what you think of it when you get it on.
