EGR 301571 SuperGuard Hood Protector, Dark Smoke

The protector is folding back against the hood and now I have to put some cloth under the corners so it doesn't scratch my hood. I will be taking it off to prevent damage to my truck.

Well made and sleek looking bug guard. It was a little difficult for single person install, would recommend a helper. Great quality material and the instructions were spot on.

This shield looks great and love that it is secured by screws which required no drilling or adhesive tape, it's not the easiest to put on it took 2 attempts and about an hour and a half.

It was tough to get this guard to fit my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. I could never get all five holes to line up right. Initially, I tried installing the guard from the outside holes and working to the inside, but the inside holes did not line up. So I restarted by fastening the center and working laterally. By doing this I got the three middle screws to line up, but the two outside screws did not line up. So we took a hair dryer to it and after a little bit of cussing we got the outside screws to tighten down. Upon ensuring that all five screws were tight we noticed the the center screw had pulled through with the expander still attached. We retried to tighten it down but to no avail.Pro:Looks really good on the truckNo glue or new holesSeems to be made of good materialStiff ridged material requires no foam bumpersReasonably pricedEven with only 4 screws the guard is firmly attached (about 500 miles with it on at speeds up to 80mph+)Cons:Seems to be a 1/8" off from the middle three holes to the outer two holesThe little expanders are junkThe screws could be longerThe lip on the expanders should be longer to hook better into the guard betterNeed to send extra screws, washers, and expanders for when you drop one and it disappears in the driveway.I'd bet money that no man could install this guard by themselves!It's a great looking guard... Just a pain to put on but I might of had a lemon. I'd be interested in trying to install other types of guards to see if they are any easier.Not sure how it's going to hold up in the car wash but we shall see...

2014 Silverado. The shield is not molded exact to the hood, close but no cigar as they say. The plastic inserts will pull out when trying to get all of them attached. The reason is the tension from the hood guard pulls them out because it is not molded well to fit the hood. I even removed the entire rubber molding to see if it would line up and nope, still about impossible. I suppose you might be able to get all five screws into the inserts but going down the road with some vibration, wind and the inherit tension from the deflector and pop, out they will come.Its a shame because it looks nice and basically a good idea, but the accuracy of the mold to the hood is off resulting in a very very difficult install and the potential, if you get it installed, for it to pull itself out over time.I have requested a refund. I don't want to use tape applied product, so not sure if something else is out there that will work.. For me, this one will not, and I wouldn't trust it to hold.
