easy install, I like it

I liked the fact that this went on fairly easily. However it does not have a mirror chrome finish. It almost looks like it has a protective film over it. I looked all over it to see if there was a place to peel back a protective film. But could not find any. And the instructions do not say there is even one on there. If I would have known it would be so dull looking, not a mirror finish Chrome, I would not have bought it. However I do not blame the seller. I blame myself for not paying more attention to the ad.

First this was advertised as a bug deflector, it is not. It could protect the front of you hood from chips, but it is basically a flimsy piece of plastic that sticks to you hood with double sided tape. The one I bought showed up with a scratch on it already so I can’t see this looking good for long. Lastly there is no way to clean under it once you put it on.
