I have a gold 95 4Runner w/ a bug deflector.... same rig as your 94. Mine is turning out to be black&gold. I got mine from JC Whitney. Good quality part. Best part, it was $31.00. I'll try to get a pic.

I'm also looking for the same thing.

If you go to www.performanceproducts.com you can see a some pics of their bug deflectors on the 2nd gen 4runner. They have 6 different bug deflectors.

Also you might want to try looking through the "Member's Rigs"pics.

UKMyers,
What kind of bug deflector do you have? I think it looks pretty good from you pics on the coil install and your webpage.

Thanks

1Runner,
Is the bug deflector you have the JC Whitney wrap around?

I'd like to see that on your truck.

This one is the Aero Wrapguard from Performance Products. It fots 1990-2002 4Runners and has a clean, sleek look. It was about $60. It is also low profile which I like.

Yep!! Thats the one. I'm tryin' to get a pic for you guys... batteries are chargin' for the camera. If youre thinking about this one, have no fear. Its a good quality unit. If you look @ the pic from L33T, its not quite as tall as that. It leans back on the hood a little bit more. I really like mine.

CF Bug Shield

I remember seeing someone's 4Runner with a carbon fiber bug shield. Are you out there? Anyways I thought it looked really nice, just thought I'd throw it out there.

I have the Carbon Fiber like one on my Gold Runner and I like it. It blends in with the color of the vehicle from the front view. Sorry, I don't have a good picture of it. Jason B has one on his Silver Runner and a pictures around the Forum somewhere.

Found it:

I've got the carbon look shield also. It is made by EGR and can be found at stylinconcepts.com.

I like EGR because you don't have to drill or use the rubber glue on plugs.

Here's another dead thread. I'm trying to make sure that I buy the right stuff.

1Runner,
Do you think I could trouble you for that pic of your bug deflector? I've got some income tax money to spend and it's burning a hole in my pocket.

Thanks
