Does anyone have the bugflectorII and billet grille combo?? I wondering if the bugflector will interfere with the bille grille where the hood and grille come really close to meeting. Anyone have pictures of there setup? Thanks.
 
i have a bug shield and billet grill. unfortunately they are not both installed. however, i did install each one myself. i think the billet grill installation takes away the gap left between the existing grill and hood. with the bugshield installed i would imagine this would cause damage to the shield. also the slamming of the hood against the grill could be detrimental to it's longevity as well. just my .02.
 
I have the C.W. Billet Grille and the SS bugshield, they were both a pain in my a$$ to install :8:, but they turned out great (y). I have not had any trouble with them, they fit together pretty nice, so I don't think that it would be a problem for other shields.

Just beware, the bugs are horrible, and last I checked my billet was filled with dead bugs as well as my SS shield :8: :6:.

I have the Street Scene grill. The grill was a real pain to install. It requires you to reroute your hood release that is behind the Bowtie.

I will not be able to install a bug shield. There is no room unless I can somehow reengineer the Grill by cutting it. You would have to seethe grill in order to understand what I mean.

I just installed my stull billet overlay grill and so far so good.

I have the lund bugshield. If you buy one, some people sell them missing one bar on the top.
 
I have one of the billet grills, but did not order it special for a bugshield. It won't fit. Make a long story short, I have the bugflector II for sale in the appropriate forum.

 
Thanks for your reply guys. The consensus is that they are not a good combo. There's a auction on EBAY that sells billet grilles with an option for on missing bar to acomodate for a bug shield as FSYGUY said. I might give this a try.
MADMASON...I dig your grille. I wanna keep my bug shield to protect the hood. Thanks again.
 
Anyone else with both? I too would love to buy a grille but will not give up the GM hood protector. I am to worried that flying debris will forever flaw the paint.
 
I have the CW billet grill with the GM bug deflector from GM parts direct and have no problems with fit.
 
Heres a pic of the combo CW Grill and GM bugshield

Wow, very nice! Did you guy's experience easy install with the CW? Danlwil, is the bowtie the original from the factory grill?
 
I have the GM bugshield and the CW billet grille - found them both extremely easy to install and they do not interfere with one another in the least. Here is a pic
