Finally installed the hood deflector!

Nonsense....ClearBra is highly effective against the type of road debris you normally encounter, including small rocks.

I had a cheaper version of CB on my gas 02 Ford Escape for 4 years....no damage. I've had CB on my 06 FEH for twp years and a ping pong ball sized stone recently dented my hood. Zero paint damage and a quick fix for my paintless dent guy. Six years with this type product, one damaging incident to a protected vehicle.

 

finally got my hood protector and installed last night, looks pretty good IMHO, and covered up some existing dings in the hood .
I'll try to get some pics up

btw this is installed on a DW Pearl Prius

 

mine is on the way, shipped yesterday from the only place I could find that had them. Should have it soon..................:rockon:

 

And the only place is...........?

 

I have been in contact with Danny (parts mgr) at Round Rock Toyota, he was able to order a deflector for me. Toyota Dealer Round Rock Texas and Austin Texas, offering new and used Toyotas, a Toyota Dealership offering Cars, Trucks and SUVs. He apparently rec'd quite a few calls after his name appeared on a prior post.

He took my name and placed an order for 10 of them. Called me Weds and advised it was in. Cost is $78 plus $20 shipping. Super nice guy, I should have it this weekend. He advised they go really fast, good luck

 

well. I installed the hood deflector, not a bad install at all, pretty straightforward. I had a little helper to make sure I didn't lose any of the clips
It has already taken some "road bullets" already and is doing its job quite well. So far I am very pleased with this product.

If I was designing it I would have made it able to flip forward and up for cleaning underneath. But all in all I like mine. It is distinctive on red and has stopped gravel and a bird so far from doing damage. The bird hit the deflector and cannon balled up and away over my head. I dont know if he recovered or not.

 

Back in stock at Toyota Parts Store. P/N 71621-99199.
I ordered mine today, got an order-update email saying it was in process. :car:

 

My wife and I agree, you've got a cute little helper there.
She's giving double thumbs up....precious.

For both the Prius and helper: very nice!

 

Got mine today, will install tomorrow. You inspired me, will get my 8 year old to "help" :juggle:

 

10 minute installation and looks great!arty:. All need is a tape measure, phillips head and a little patience.

 

You are obligated to take a picture you know!

 

sweet! let's see some pics!

 

Thanks man! She was a huge help!

Mudguards here we come!

 

Bah, can't show you mine. It's the 3M clear bra.
Not seeing it is pure awesome.
Not a single rock ding on the hold after over two years is awesomeness.

Getting the fog lights and the headlights done with the same stuff is a good idea too, for less than 100$.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

He gets it.

 

Leftie is my test installer......will get my pics uploaded. let me know when you get the mud guards and how the process went.......thanks for the info on the hood deflector.....

 

HA! Glad I can be of help...

 

Piece of pie....cake....whatever.
