Too poor to buy anything now

I'm considering a hood mounted bug deflector and I humbly ask the great oracles here for advice on which one or if I'm going insane even thinking about it.

I've been using it since Nov 2021. No complaints till date.

I didn't buy the Toyota bug deflector as its metal clips looks like it could damage the paint. May be will try to post a pick of it later today.

Same here for the AVS 2. I hate the look of the thing, but the rock chips on the leading edge of the hood makes it a necessity.
