Best Bug Shield for < $75
I have to get my windshield replaced Friday due to a big crack that I just noticed today so I figure I want this one to last. Do any of you have a favorite brand, and if so, why do you like them so much?

My vote would be the Toyota one. I have found that when people make parts to compete with factory stuff they tend to come up short, especially on parts like this. Not so much on axles, suspension, etc.

2nd vote for the Toyota one, I just got one for my 2001 4Runner a few months ago for $75. The plastic is thicker than the aftermarket ones and they fit better. The only downside is the thicker plastic doesn't bend very much, which is why I needed a new one, just be careful when washing the ends of it.

I'm sure the Toyota one is a good choice, but I picked one up from Advanced Auto for around $40 and its worked great. It fits well and hasn't cracked or broken in 2 years (knock on wood). I think the brand is AVS, it comes in a yellow and blue box and is a pretty common aftermarket bugflector.

I bought the Lund one in 2000 and it still is in great shape. Some brands have dips that follow the hood shape. The Lund does not. The top edge is a constant height and smooth, I like the shape. It has been through alot and is in great shape. It does get dull but all I do is hit it with some car wax and it looks like new again. I don't remember the price.
