Hood deflector ...

[3589]

Anyone has or knows anything about the wind deflector at this site? It looks more angled than the one on Ebay, but it might be the same thing for all I know. This is going to go on a Black Mica MSP by the way, so hopefully the smoky look won't look so bad.

Anyone has a hood deflector on their Black Mica and has pics? Please post them if you do.

i donno bout that. i really don't see a purpose, but its up to you. i understand engines, forced induction, nitrous, sound systems, and suspension fairly well, but never understood how one of those works.

looks interesting, would like to see a better picture of it.

hood deflectors save your hood from chips in the paint, since like 90% of chips happen on the front edge of the hood.

another choice might be the magnetic bra, which is less noticeable, but i hear they deteriorate after a couple winters.

I just want to add that I'm not buying this for looks (obviously). I go on plenty of road trips on the weekends and noticed some small chips on my hood. Since Mazda don't have a bra for the MSP, this is my other option. Hopefully, it won't look wierd and be easy to install and uninstall, not to mention actually offers some degree of protection.

well, if thats the case then i'de say go for it. it should be fairly easy to remove and put on. just some clips hopefully. i guess you could just take it off for a night of cruising.

Dammit ... I just noticed that the picture of the deflector on the first site is the same picture that they use for every other car ... even the trucks. Kinda thought it was too angled for our cars. Oh well, guess Ebay it is ... unless someone knows of a better cheaper site .

actually you can get a full bra from mazda. just look for the one for the p5, its the exact same front end.

ooo i forgot, there are holes for the sidemarkers, when the MSP don't need them.

its close, you can always do a little sewing to fill in the holes.
