Lightbulb Hood Deflector
Hello Guys, I have a 2023 GX460 I got it about a month ago. Love it, I watched a ton of videos on all kinds of upgrades and mods. I have installed LED bulbs just about everywhere, a gear selector **** to match the interior black piano finish, and side window visors. Currently, I am looking to get a hood bug deflector. I can't seem to be able to find it anywhere. One site that used to sell it is in Russia and they are out of stock " so they say " I think the war has something to do with it. I have been searching for weeks and can't find one place to buy it. Do any of you guys have any good links?

Are there alternatives to protect the most vulnerable section of the vehicle from rocks? Film is expensive. This is inexpensive and can be removed easily.

I am old school. I do like it, toying with the idea of getting one. Apparently they are popular in Iceland. I saw so many Landcruiser Prado VX/GX owners have it installed.

Why do some bug deflectors have those small dots? Most do not but some do.

I think it is from the vacuum moulding process, they are usually located near what would be the deepest draw area and those would be the vacuum port locations

This is a mounting system, there is a screw under this black dot. In order to make a high-quality mount, you have to sacrifice beauty. But it's worth it
