I'm in the middle of trading in my 2001 MDX for a 2004 MDX and was checking out the accessories on the acura.com website. It looks like there are 2 Air Deflectors, a narrow one and a full width one. Are there any advantages or disadvantages between the two? How about the looks, I haven't seen the narrow one in person.
Any feebacks would greatly be appreciated. Thanks |

Are you asking about the front deflector or the rear deflector?
I also play Ping!:2: |

Its the front, I guess they're also called hood protector or bug shield.
Thanks |

| Don't get either get one . The OEM as long as I can remember has had issues with whistling at speed. I doubt the narrow one is any better. Ask Tim if he still has the Formfit deflector for the MDX, I couldnt find it on the HA site. They look better and sleeker and no noise. BTW the rear tailgate items are called Tailgate deflector or Spoiler. |

| Yup thats it but wrong picture, that is the OEM deflector. The form fit looks like this one. |

| The form fit is also alot easier to install, no drilling require. It utilize existing tapped holes and clips. The new narrower air deflector requires drilling new holes. |

Your Baby looks so cool.
I have a full mask and just wonder if I can install the form fit deflector. I figure not to use the mask cover the hood and have the deflector on to protect the bug. Thanks, |

That's exactly how I do it for road trips . . . |

I'd have the mask on all the time. But I hate to remove it when it rains. Especially, around this Spring time. |

It's a bit of a pain to remove and reinstall on a regular basis. But as you said, it's very important not to trap moisture underneath, or debris. And a lot of debris gets underneath.
Like greatscot I keep mine on for roadtrips (except winter) and during harvest time around here when bugs are in great abundance.
I have ones for the side mirrors too. I use the Formfit in place of the hood 'bra'. |

My MDX color is white. It would be great to have a clear deflector. I just wonder if Tim has one? Thank all for the advice. |

What type do you use for the mirrors? |

| Thanks Dale, that is definitely better than the mirror covers from Acura IMO. |

The backs of the mirrors can be a true b$tch to clean when plastered with ecoskeletons. |
