bug deflector/guard for 3rd gen

so i washed and waxed my max today...and i noticed i had paint chipped off where the hood meets the grill...apparently cuz of bugs and the amount of travelling i have to do in my car....

i dunno how my car would look like with a bug deflector on it but i gotta save the paint or get it redone!

anybody know where i can find a plastic bug deflector/gaurd for a 3rd gen? i dont wanna use those car bras. any ideas anyone?

Re: MAX89'

i bought my car from a private seller with the guard on it. when i took it into a shop to get the heatercore replaced they spilt some acid or something on it and i now have a big white mark on it, so i took the thing off. i guess i could find it in my garage and tell you the brand and any other identifiying marks on it. where do you live and i could just give it to you.

concerning bra, i just bought one off of maximabella, and when i out it on, apparently, it's missing a clip of some sort where the bra connects to the wheel well on both sides. Know what i'm talking bout? I havent used a bra before so i dont know what it looks like...know what i need?
