Bugs!!
 
I hate the looks of a bug shield on the front of the hood but my 94 extended cab 4x4 attracts bugs like a magnet. A 15 mile trip will cause you to have to clean the windshield. Anyone know of a bug shield that looks decent? I'm going to paint it shortly and I was thinking about putting one on after I get it done, I don't know if it's the way the hood is shaped or what but my wife even made the remark about how the windshield seems to attract bugs.

The best looking ones form to the hood. But I wonder how effective those are. I get the bugs but not so bad it can't wait to be cleaned next gas-up. What I have noticed is stones getting drawn to my windshield. I have never had a broken windshield in anything but a couple GMT400s I've had. My Suburban windshield needs replacement now, and I recently picked up another chip that will spread this winter. I guess I'm glad I waited!

Here's a picture of the '88 with bug shield. The '90 has one too. Both trucks came from Eastern Washington (they have manual transmissions). I can't say how well they work, I'll have to take the '90 on a country drive next spring.

This one has a couple of really small stone chips, after I got to thinking about it, I had a 99 3500 that had one and I took it off and in no time the front of the hood had several rock chips so maybe they do work.

Put rainX on the windshield and the bugs should come off real easy.
