Default Bug Deflector For Hood?

Looking to get a Bug Deflector for my 2013, but I can't seem to find one anywhere. Don't really want a bra. Anywhere a bug deflector can still be found these days? Parttera has one but they don't seem to be a legit seller.

Seems FormFit makes one that a few vendors sell but it looks horrible, like a tacked-on afterthought...I'd look into getting some PPF done instead unless you've got REALLY big bugs to worry about.

Which vendors still have the formfit one? I've seen photos of it, just curious to see who still has it.

Check Canadian dealer sites to sell if they have any left. They used to sell one that was Canadian market only and it was the one that everyone wanted to get. Here's the part number for it, Scion Canadian Hood Deflector PN PU500-52011

I did find one place in Canada, but they won't ship it to the US. Australia also has one, but same issue. I consider biting the bullet, and getting some PPF to protect the paint, then putting a front end hood bra on.

I found a couple that showed it just doing a quick Google search...doesn't necessarily guarantee they still actually have or can get them though.

Can you drop the links? I found a few but I don't think they're legit websites.

They may not be...I just did a quick search to see what I might have been able to stumble across but, given I have a Gen 1, I didn't dive into them too far.

I found one on Parttera, which I believe is a scam website from what I could find. There are ones for the first gens, but having a second gen it seems I am out of luck.
