Bug Shields

The price of an aftermarket bug shield can range between $35 and $130, depending on the brand and design. A high-quality bug shield won't only enhance your vehicle's appearance, it will also deflect insects better.

Have you ever wondered why so many truck drivers complain about bugs hitting their windshields? That’s because most pickup trucks have flat windshields that don’t divert airflow very well. Cleaning up bug splatters can be tedious because one wrong move can damage your vehicle’s paint job. Due to its aerodynamic design, having a bug shield can significantly lessen the rate of bug splatters.

A bug shield, bug guard, bug deflector, or hood protector is a thin plastic piece mounted on top of a vehicle’s hood that deflects insects and small debris when you’re driving at high speeds. It’s typically made from acrylic material. There are three types of bug shields, each with a unique installation method. The easiest to install is a bug shield with an automotive-grade adhesive that attaches to your vehicle’s hood via tape. A slightly more challenging option involves custom bolts and braces that can be installed on your vehicle’s hood. The most difficult one to install requires drilling holes into your vehicle’s hood for a secure fit.

When it comes to choosing the right bug shield for your vehicle, you should prioritize compatibility above all else. It’s important to get the exact measurements of the part you’re buying to ensure the perfect fit. Good thing here at CarParts.com, you can find aftermarket bug shields for various makes and models.
