My LUND bug deflector went on about 1 week before the vent visors.
With just this piece, no wind noise.
Actually, I think I have my bug deflector down lower then the design calls
far (their Lund sticker is just barely visible, sticking up from the
grill)...I like it better this way as the ends of the center guard blend
in much better with the fender eyebrows
Those ventvisors are producing the noise, I believe they could have been
designed a bit better, the front door applications are too long at the
bottom, they have to go over part of the mirror arms...I'll give it a few
more test rides before thinking about taking them off (and having to
remove the double sided tape residue)
