Bug deflector

When I bought the truck 7 years ago it came with a box of parts and this brand new deflector which I just found buried under stuff. I just placed it on the truck to get a few pics. I have no plans on using it, not my cup of tea. I,ll put it on cragslist I guess.

My '77 had a red one on it when I bought it ..... but I removed it to see if I could get air through my vents ...... huge increase ..... so I gave it away.

All those things do is prevent bugs from hitting the hood. ..Splats still end up on the windshield.

.... To me those things constituted a solution looking for a problem.
