Did anyone else notice that the driver's side-mirror seems to deflect bugs right into the side of your face when driving with the windows down? :shock:

I have not noticed that, and I do drive a lot with the window down. But then again, I usually roll them up on the h-way.

It does seem hard to get the bug guts off of the mirrors though. Something about the texture of that plastic.......

This could pose a real problem if you're a vegetarian!

I drive with the top down as much as possible, only bugs get on the windshiels and front end, pain but they clean up easy.

Ewwww.... bugggs.

Make sure you guys put some kind of treatment on your black trim... and on the mirror housings.

Those bug guts will eat away at that stuff under the sun. I think someone in another thread recommended a Meguires NXT wheel application or something. I just use armor all... seems to work ok.

I like Black Magics Vynll treatment....Armor All stinks and I wouldnt use tire or wheel treatment on anything other than the tires or wheels different material will eventually ruin your vynll trim
