Hood wind / bug deflector? (1 Viewer)

[akmerle]

Anyone have any luck finding a hood wind / bug deflector yet? I see there is possibly one for JDM, but haven't seen one from AVS or WeatherTech yet. Already have a decent chip / dent in the hood, and was hoping it would help with the numerous windshield rock chips I've gotten in less than 5K miles as well.

Thanks all!

Hi, I tried contacting Lexus of Melbourne but they told me that they only provide services for Australia.
Can you please send the link?

I asked my friend in Australia bought it from them and ship to the us, total cost around 574 including shipping.

Ohh I see. But damn that's pricey for the deflector. Do you remember how much was just the deflector?

Husky Liners say they have a hood deflector. I have reached out to them for an installed image. I will report back.

Here's a link to the Husky Liners deflector. No photo of one mounted as yet. Anyone buy one yet?

I also see the Toyota LC folks are having issues too:

There aren't any models that claim to fit the GX550 on the Husky site. Can you send the specific product link?

I recently reached out to WeatherTech about bug deflectors. Here is their response:

Thank you for reaching out to WeatherTech.
I've pulled up the Lexus GX 2024 & 2025 our production team is working on developing the Hood Protector. Please fill out our New Product Inquiry form and you will receive an e-mail when that product is available for purchase: New Product Updates

If you have any other questions please let us know!

What's the consensus on how effective these are at preventing rock chips in the windshield?

I don't think there is a bullet proof solution for rocks but after replacing the windshield twice on my GX 460 I installed one from OMAC and never got a rock on it anymore. On my GX 550 I have the 3M chip protect and be aware that if you install a bug deflector on top of it, the warranty for the chip protect will be voided...
