We already got a nice size chip on our hood on our new civic
I think we need one of those bug deflector things. ?? Do they work in delfecting crap from not hitting the hood?

How much do they go for and where can you buy them?

thanks.

Honda sells em but a bit expensive...

You might wanna check WALMART...

Prolly hafta order it though...

A car Bra would do a bit better job...

Your looking between $80 and $150 for the deflector..

imported_loudsubz

does the car bra protet the hood, or just ther front?

The chip on the hood is about 1/3 up the hood.

Depends on the manufacturer...

For what year and model please????

imported_loudsubz

2001 EX

I'll look for you..

Problem with most bras is that the paint will slowly fade faster where it is not covered...

Car will look two tone after a few years...

What colour is it???

Black.

I'd avoid car bras. I went into the honda dealership asking about them and the service guy didnt recommend using one. He said that it's a really tight fit and requires 2 people to put on and that you shouldnt leave it on for long periods of time because it holds in the moisture and could ruin your paint underneith. also these things are damn expensive, it was like $200+ for a full car bra. It covers the entire front end and a bit of the hood.

here's a small pic of the car bra from Honda for your car:

I personally got the one that just covers the front of the hood and not the rest of the car. Works out pretty good for the long trips up north. But like mentioned, I wouldn't leave it on for long periods of time, I only put mine on when I am going on long trips on the highway and stuff. For the hood one, its about 34 + tax at cdn tire I believe, i forgot how much i paid for it, it was on sale at the time tho!

not big on the bra thing, had one took it off, I put bug deflector it works great, help prevent the windshield cracks too, there is also that clear plastic guard that goes right over your paint, my buddy got it on his spec-V and you can hardly tell its even there, it goes about 6-8 inches from front of hood

imported_loudsubz

where did you get the deflector, and how much.

ROB THE BRUCE

it was a gift so...

I think car bra's are ugly. But that's just my opinion. What I would get is that clear sticker thing that you put on your hood. I forgot what they're called. But I think it's just some kind of thin see through sticker thing that you put on. It doesn't look like it's there unless you walk up close to it. I think that would be better. But again, that's just my opinion.

speedtech has them, the exact same ones that honda sells. Don't really know the price though.
I have one on my 99 sedan looks good and works. We got them to throw it in when we got the car.
