      Hood Deflector for 2008 Sedan?

      I've been searching online for some retailers that sell Hood Deflectors with no luck.

      Would you guys have an idea where I could get it other than the dealer? The dealer is selling it for $146CAD...

      Ron, to each his own right? Some things on your ride probably looks gay also, like the light blue... But you didn't hear me say a thing before right? So comments like that should be kept to yourselves if you have nothing good to add.

      eBay, couln't find anything.

      Why do I want this? Well, where I live, they pour tons of salt on the roads and they fly on my car and already made chips on my hood. Hence, the reason they call it a hood deflector and the reason I want one!

      I'm a detailer and don't want to STICK a film on my car.

      anyways, unless you get a deflector for your whole hood you will still get chips....ive got more on the middle to upper part then i do the lower part where a deflector would cover. what they need is something for the rocker panels, all my red paint is gone under there

      Yeah I know what you mean but it's better than nothing! Also, a pleather nose mask is out for me as well! It will just help reduce the chips!

      I got them to install the mud flaps but that only does so much. I'm sure in the end the paint will start to come off like on your ride.

      yea nose masks suck, if anything gets underneath it scratches and plus the car fades unevenly

      Settle down Francis...I was only breaking your balls...and I made fun of my color so feel free...

      I live in Western NY, there are PLENTY of salt trucks here as well and I haven't had any problems with the 3M paint protectant and paint scratches. It was only a suggestion to another Aveo owner that there are other options out there.

      So you're a detailer, so am I, I wash my car every week, vaccumm the interior every month, and wax it when needed. You don't want to STICK a film on your car, I understand But you want to SCREW a hood deflector to it instead?

      END RANT, sorry your skin isn't as thick as mine. I take back my gay comment. (even though it will look gay)

      Alright Ron, I guess we started on the wrong foot.

      I will check before buying the deflector. If I require drilling, then I won't do it. I'm almost sure they go on without all depends on what brand.

      Yeah I'm a detailer on the side (I have a FT job), so you are freakin lucky to be able to detail that often! I'm jelous! Nice to have a fellow detailer in the house!
