i have a clear wade bugshield on my tcm and i think it looks pretty good.
i drive 60-70 mph most of the day and get bug splatters despite the shield. i have not had any major rock incidents so far.. rosses fingers:

I didn't know Wade had a clear bug shield. I bought the dark one for my PW xB, but I already had enough black on the front of the car so I covered it in white vinyl on the front and trimmed it in black, the back is painted a textured white. I guess I like it because it is different. Hopefully will be a white bra in the future when I have the time. Picture on page 4 of:

bug shield wouldn't prevent a rock from hitting your windshield. But it will help with cleanup after a long drive. Here in Florida a day's drive will equal a few hundred bugs on your hood.

I just put a clear lund shield on my white box. Helps with alot of the bugs, but at 70 - 75 M.P.H. i get some turbulence around the passenger wiper blade and it vibrates in the wind a little.
