Why Bug Shields Are Important

(back to Main Bug Shields / Bug Deflectors Page)

Imagine your reaction when a rock, stone, road gravel, a sizable bug, or other debris from the road or from a vehicle in front of you comes flying toward you while you’re driving.   Your automatic reaction might be to duck, shield your face, brake or swerve – all of which are completely natural reactions but, depending on the situation, can be quite dangerous.  Not to mention the danger of impaired visibility or worse, a rock or stone actually cracking your windshield.  This safety aspect of rock, stone, wind or bug deflectors is their most important feature.  But it’s not all they do.

Protection
In addition to protecting your visibility and the integrity of your windshield, bug deflectors also protect the finish of your hood.  Not only will your hood deflector keep rocks, stones, road gravel and other road debris from pitting, denting or scratching your hood, but by deflecting bugs, your bug shield is also protecting your vehicle's finish because dead bugs fuse to the paint and etch and pit your vehicle’s finish in a way that can be as damaging as rocks.
