I have seen on some web site a bug shields for the HHR but was confused on how they would look/attach or if they are even real?

 

I saw one awhile ago. Save your money. They look stupid. They attach with 3M tape above the grill. Too small and not practical.

 

Here's a thread with pix .....................

bug deflector

 

Bug deflectors rarely look good on a vehicle. And that is definatly not one that does.

 

 

WOW!!! i can't believe how bad that looks. Thanks for the pic. dodged an ugly bullet not buying one of those.

 

Glad I could help point you in the right direction and keep from making that mistake.

 

That thing looks like a moustache...

 

Those things are ugly, in most cases. But they are functional for protecting SOME of the hood and the windshield (although I think they provide more protection for the windshield).

I used one on a vehicle to commute to San Diego each weekend. Driving on Interstates through the crop areas of AZ and Calif., encountered a LOT of bugs, at certain times of the year. Required stopping one or two times just to clean the window for visiblity.

I tried 2 types of bras, which were ok but they had to be cleaned all the time and they didn't protect the windshield. I finally installed a Lund shield and was very satisfied with the protection.

Application really depends on how much you want to protect the front end and windshield.

 

To be quite honest IMHO, do the side deflectors only. A bug shield on these cars will disrupt the look too drastically. I have visors on mine, and they don't disrupt the car's appearance at all.
