2024 CX-5 Front Hood Protector/Bug Shield Options?

[Newgirl]

Called dealer and they stated that Mazda does not have a front hood protector/ bug shield for the 2024 CX-5 S and to look at aftermarket.
Anyone have a recommendation(s)? Thank you in advance!!!

Take a look at paint protection film. On my old 2018 CX5 I had a 18 inch PPF Xpel bra installed on the front leading edge of the hood. After 5 years of driving no stone chips.

The clear stuff works pretty good. Do you drive on rough roads?

No but alot of construction trucks in south Austin and tons of flying matter!

PPF covers a lot more than the hood. It's on the hood about 14" from the front edge, the front bumper, front of the fenders, the A pillars and side mirrors.
There is one nick in the hood film but nothing else, and it looks better (IMO) than the black plastic deflector.
The car is a 2022, we got it beginning of May so don't know if it was put on new but there's nothing under the film either so I'm presuming it's been there for most of the duration.
