Wind/Bug Deflector

Manufacturer Deflecta-Shield
Model Mirage
Phone 800-444-8789
Source Best Dressed Truck, Inc.
Location Roswell, GA
Phone 770-643-8788
Cost $65.99
Installation Time 20 minutes
Notes: About three weeks after I bought my truck I noticed a growing crack in the windshield. About that time I decided to buy a bug deflector to protect from future "incidents." Installation of the shield was simple. Many people have asked me if I had to drill holes in the hood...answer: nope! The pre-drilled holes in the shield matched up perfectly with holes in the hood. To secure it, Deflecta-Shield provides plastic screws, and small rubber "bumpers" to prevent the shield from flapping around in the wind. No double-sided tape, either. It does add a bit wind noise, though, but looks great!

Soft Tonneau Cover

Model Tekstyle Tek-Sport
Phone 800-323-6147
Source Godfather's Customs
Location Decatur, GA
Phone 800-231-8789

Notes: The cover fits like a glove and looks fantastic. Installation was a breeze, the truck is a lot more stable at highway speeds and I think I'm even getting better mileage! In addition, it has kept a great deal of cargo dry. Highly recommended addition
