Hey Everyone, as the title states I'm looking for a bug deflector that provides coverage on the hood andd extends to the tips of the front fenders.

The EGR Superguard bug Deflector is one product that fits the bill but one of the members of this forum had issues with it rubbing the paint off of the top of his grill where the deflector rested on the grill. I don't want to create more issues than I solve so am leery about the EGR product.

If you buy one of these, on the 4 mounting points under the hood, there are little white plastic blocks, pay attention to which way that they are suppose to be placed, i did not have the instructions when i mounted the bug deflector on the 2016 & i did not recall how to fit them in correctly & i kept dropping the screws.
I should have had another set of hands to help me

Thanks for the replies guys.

GTyankee, did you have any issues with the hood deflector rubbing on the top of the grill in the area where it meets the headlights? That was the issue that one of our forum members had with the product.
