Edgar, it does not scratch the paint when installed properly. It is supposed to be installed along with 4-6 little rubber bumpers on the hood that prevent the guard from actually touching the hood.
In Nathan's case they were not installed.

Very nice Yukon Nathan!

Too small for a NNBS... ;)

I'll take some pics later. I actually got some vinyl that matched my truck and put a piece from the grill to the headlight that's about 1/2inch tall. You can't even see it from 2 feet away. That's temporary until I figure something out. I just had to get the ugly bug guard off.

Basically yeah. There was double sided tape in the middle and two metal U brackets that just push on each side that were suppose to have rubber between the U brackets and the hood to protect it, but those weren't there.

you lowering this one?

of course, I was about to send you a PM from TBSSOwners, but I'll send you one from here in a little bit. It depends on whether I get 24's or 26's, but either way, I want to go as low as possible.

Shout out to TBBSOwners and my old SS...

low as possible
front djm 4 inch kit
rear djm hardware kit
rear bumpstops
rear belltech springs with dead coils cut.

You would then add helper bags and your good to go. YOu can do 4/6 no problem.

but if you do 26s then cant go that low.

Today update...

Tint = 4% all around and 35% on the entire front windshield and I removed the front vent. Not sure what I'll do about the scratches, but it's 1000 times better

:waytogo: A 1000 times better without the Bug Deflector is simply an UNDERSTATEMENT!!!!!!

Not sure what the laws in your state are in regards to window tint, but here in California I would never DARE to tint my rig the way you did!

For sure looks nice, but this is the kind of stuff that get's you pulled over, ........ just at the moment you had that one extra beer. ;)

I have a medical exemption from the state of Florida. Tint laws no longer apply to me or any cars I own. I put my wifes vehicles in my name as well.
