Hood deflectors are harder to find than the Prius!

I searched the net, this site, checked all the links and no one has these things.......

i ordered mine off of Toyota Parts and Accessories Store it looks pretty good......and price is not bad

Thanks, I cannot get them to answer the phone...maybe closed for the weekend. No dealers in my area carry then either....will keep trying

Why an ugly(imo) hood deflector and not an invisible Ventureshield?

I can think of 125 reasons. Those would be miles to the nearest Ventureshield dealer.

I agree whole-heartedly. I got a 3M Clearbra for $350 from dealer. I'm sure I overpaid but I don't care, I got a good deal and hood was protected from mile 4.

Everytime I see a hood deflector now I think about how ugly it looks to me. If you like the look though, go for it. To each their own.

I suspect Clearbra is more aerodynamic than deflector.

That happened to me too (too far away). But then I found a shop installing Ventureshield not listed on Ventureshild's installer site. Phew.

In any case, if not Ventureshiled, definitely consider one of the invisible bra options. Deflectors and colored bras offer poor aesthetics and aerodynamics

(IMO)

Dealers in your area won't carry them...it's a Canadian Toyota part.

I ordered mine online.

ventureshield looks nice, but no one near me installs this. I have a quote from a vendor, but it is pretty expensive to do the front bumper cover, hood and front edges of the fenders. Wife will kill me if I spenda lot more pimping my ride.....

Everytime I come home, something else shows up in the mail or the car has something else on it.......door mldgs, custom stripe, window tinting, clear mats.

....although, she may not even see the ventureshield.....hmmmmmm

so true about the new boxes in the mail every day, etc.!!!
3M Clear bra is good to, and more common at local install shops

any pics of your custom stripe?
