This was a welcome departure from the Lunds that had started to mar the chrome on my cowling because they fit too tight. However, after I was done centering the shield and locking everything down, I noticed they weren't even necessary, because there were two perfectly spaced gaps that kept the shield from rubbing anywhere against the chrome or paint. This was followed by installing two inserts in existing holes under the edge of the hood, then using two screws to secure the wing ends of the shield in place.ĮGR provided two strips of clear plastic paint protectors, which I applied per the instructions. Like the Lund, it mounted in the same manner by first removing the grille cowling, then using it to hold the shield in place. So much for the claim that their new "Tri-crylic" plastic was almost indestructable. In fact they were so tight against the grille cowling that the first one actually started to crack. In contrast, the EGR had a surface as smooth as glass, and equally smooth edges.īoth of the Lund's I tried had a very poor fit. The first one I received also had an obvious molding defect that should have never left the factory. It's made in Australia, and I guess they take their car accessories more seriously "down under", because my shield was perfect! Not only in apperance, but in fit as well.Īs I'd mentioned, both the Lund's looked like they'd been hacked out of plastic with a coping saw, as they had a ragged edge where they'd been stamped out. The EGR is far and away a better bug shield than the Lund in appearance and craftsmanship. Well, on the flip side, after having no success with the Lund product, I read a lot of positive posts concerning the EGR Super Guard shield, and I'm happy to report that I'm also here to add my thumbs-up. Some of you may have read my post on the two Lund Interceptor II bug shields I installed on my 07 Tundra, then promptly removed due to their poor fit and finish.
