    LOL when I first saw the post was from you; I thought you were going to tell me to quit posting about the @#$% deflector. I have been burning up the threads about this item.

    It would be a great addition to the Prius Shop. Thanks for all your hard work and recent updates.

    Thank you Austin for the better price link. I just ordered mine! It says 2005 but if it fit on your 08 then I am not worried about my 08!

    Thanks again!

    You Welcome Sheepdog.

    If you get a chance, post some pics when you get're done.

    Since installation the deflector has saved the front of my hood from rocks, gravel, cans, bottles, boxes, paint, cement, and one poor little bird. Also please let me know if you discover where the secret magnet that attracts road debris is hidden.

    :confused:

    Will do Austin! I think the magnet is actually in the design of the sloping hood. That drag Coefficient of 0.23 means it is a shovel for the road I guess!

    When you wash the car, does the protector get in the way?

    If you want to wax the car, do you have to take it off?
