Bug Deflector

[Frost]

I saw one the other day on a white sedan. It looked pretty good :)

Anyone else have a bug deflector on their M3 ?
I\'d like to know where in the GTA you bought it.

I like the look of the bug deflector and because I travel a fair amount out in rural areas, my car has already see the damage of bugs. I don\'t really want to spend the amount of money Mazda wants for one, so I\'m going to look into Canadian Tire and Van and Truck world first to see if there is another version. If not, I\'ll get one next spring.

i got mine installed....DON\"T USE TEH TEMPLATE IF YOU BUY THE OEM MODEL....it doesn\'t line up properly liek it should...i highly recommend NOT using the paper template

I have one, installed it myself a day after I picked up my car. I didn\'t use any template, just tape measure, masking tape to mark where I needed to place the clips and a whole lot of eyeballin\' for overall look. Those clips are a pain in the butt to slip on and that anti-scratch adhesive tape they included doesn\'t make it any easier to install. I don\'t have any complaints about the deflector at all. I haven\'t noticed any wind noise. And I\'m sure it has saved me from a few rocks :)

I bought it from the stealership, I think 80-90 bucks. Form-fit is the label on it, I don\'t know if there is any other aftermarket part.

i got no complaint about it once i got it on....no wind noise or anything....just that lil brown paper template made me MAD...so i gave up doing it that day and went back at it with a hairdryer the next day to re-position everything....all is good now...i got mine for $35 ithink it was...

LOL... No need to be mad... I think he got it from Xenon who got it from the lucky draw at the Meet of the Mazdas.

My sig has a link to some pics. Unfortunately I don\'t have a close up, I forgot to upload the \"after\" installation picture. I\'ll find it and upload it tonight. There is one pic, but IMO it blends in nicely and is barely noticeable in the pic.
