Default Bug Deflector?

Do you all think blazers look better with or without the bug deflector? I can't decide if I should leave mine on or just take it off.

I don't think they look bad. I took mine off because I hit a bird and it broke. You might be surprised how many bugs they actually deflect. I would leave it on until it breaks or something, then decide if you want to buy a new one. (if it ever does break or anything)

I like the Stainless ones.. The plastic ones look crappy when they get older..

I think they look pretty good but I won't run one on my Blazer. I had one on my old one and the first carwash I went through, it broke into 4 pieces. (Had I read the instructions, it said not to take the truck through a brush wash with the piece on, but...really? Who reads instructions?)

I find they're the only way to really get my trucks clean, so it's either I don't wash them, or just don't use a bug deflector. Since I live in a condo without access to a hose, the brush wash is the best option to have a nice looking ride during the week.
