    Mine went in the garbage. The supplied clip's would eat right through the mylar tape then the hood. Probably be ok if I didn't go through the car wash.
    Bought weather tech, avs is good also

    Thanks! Have you gone through the crash wash with the weather tech one? Do you have a picture of yours?

    Yeah, this one has been on 3 4runners in the last year (long story) and I run it through the wash at least once a week and more in the winter. I get unlimited washes for 20 a month.

    The weather tech doesn’t rub the paint? I had a bad experience with flares on my tundra and I just ordered weather tech for new 4Runner

    Look at the post above yours. I've moved mine and is now on its 3rd 4runner. no rubbing or damage when it was removed.

    Yeah, I did it for reducing hood chips. One can touch up rock chips but this lowers the risk
