So you’re cruising along on the highway, your mind in a million places, and then WAP! A bug, or a stone, or a piece of sediment from a semi came done fast and hard – scratching your finish, denting your hood, or cracking your windshield. It’s an awful feeling because you know there is now permanent damage to your vehicle (until you repair it) and what’s worse is there was nothing you could do to prevent it – but actually there was!
When you have a bug deflector, not only are you covering the leading edge of your vehicle’s hood – you’re also redirecting wind as you drive. This aerodynamic redirection of wind will actually hurl bugs, rocks, and other highway hazards out of the way as you drive, ensuring they never make contact. All you’ll have to do is pull over for gas on a road trip to see what a difference a good hood shield can make! So what is a good hood shield? Read on, because we’ve collected our Top 10 Best Bug Deflectors of 2020!
