I'm buying an AVS II hood deflector for my '97 Limited but I don't know which one I should get! I saw a picture of RonMAIDEN's from like 2009 and it's exactly what I want, however, he just called it an AVS II Deflector..there are like 100 different ones with the same title. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Bump. Does anyone know? I don't wanna go OEM because I've read in a lot of threads that it's too close to the hoods. AVS II has more space. Could anyone tell me which one I need to get for the best fit?
 
Come on guys, somebody must know! I'm ready to order it..Just waiting on y'all to tell me which one. Do I need to rephrase my question??? How about this

Question: WHICH AVS II HOOD DEFLECTOR DO YOU USE ON YOUR 4RUNNER
 
How much would the OEM one run me? I've heard it's like impossible to clean under it and it requires bump stops. Have you had any issues there? By the way, THANK YOU FOR THE REPLY! haha. I appreciate it.
 
They are the same name but you need to find the one that is 4Runner specific and I don't have a part number handy;I got mine at Pep Boys and they just happened to have one for 3rd gen Runner that day i was in there.

OEM works fine but it does sit too close to the hood fro my taste and can get larger debris (small rocks) between the deflector and the hood and you must use bump stops as it will rub the hood. My mom had the OEM version on her '99 and it always seemed too loose for my taste and one bumpstop came off and in one week it rubbed the paint pretty bad before we caught it. Now she has the same AVS one I have and no problems.

I like the AVS version since it has more coverage at the edges,sits away from the hood with no bumpstops required and is a simply 4 plastic screw-on job.
I had one get busted deflecting a large rock which definetly saved my hood so I bought another.

I am missing one of the bump stops, but it has never rubbed anything on my hood... I don't recall the price, sorry.

If I find it online will it actually say 3rd gen 4runner? Not trying to sound like a moron but I'm just having a bit of trouble finding it. I checked a couple local places too. Oh, and I appreciate the reply!
