The result is a cleaner front end with fewer bug splatter and paint chips. Its medium-profile, off-the-hood design allows for easy cleaning and waxing while maintaining a sleek, aerodynamic appearance and installs easily with the included pre-applied 3M automotivegrade tape or mechanical fasteners. Available in a dark smoke finish and proudly made in the USA with global materials.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits a 3rd Gen Runner pretty good.
*by C***N on August 13, 2024*

Give some protection to my 3rd Gen 4runner hood. But it actually looks good too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fit Perfectly on my 1997 4Runner !!!
*by R***N on December 21, 2024*

I'm 70+ female and it was Super Easy To Install ~ ~ The one I had before had broken after many years ~ been driving this awesome rig for 25 years (next month) ~ I have 316,542 miles on it and there has been MINIMAL repairs ~ you know ~ Timing Belt, Rear Seal Leaked, Changing Spark Plugs and Wiring ~ need to replace Rear Shocks but doing that soon.... this rig has bounced around a lot of miles and pulled an 8x5 Fully enclosed Aluminum Trailer to Texas/Colorado and back to Oregon ~ but a great 3400 engine ~ was told it was of the best they put in these !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit and easy install
*by S***T on June 23, 2024*

Replacing and old, faded one and this worked perfect. I like the lower profile of this new one. No issues or complaints.
