Hey guys. I'm trying to decide between a clear bra or a bug shield for my White 2015 2 door sport. I like the bug shiled on some wranglers and some I don't. Google doesn't have a ton of pics of bug shields on whitwe wranglers. Can anyone provide me with some pics? Thanks.

Personal experience: appearance only... your windshield washer will become almost useless at high speed, bugs will still get to your windshield and road debris can ricochet on it and get anyway to your windshield(with damage on both, ask my why i know!) But i love the look!

For me i know the functionality will keep the rocks off of my hood. That's the biggest goal. I'm not as worried about my windshield. That's what Geico is for. I just want to prevent rock chips on the hood and add a certain level of pleasing asthetic. I go back and forth between whether I like the look or not. Im from Mississippi orginally. The southerner in me loves it. However, now I live in Garden City Long Island and the yankee in me says "so redneck".

I bought one in the matte black and installed it loved the look. Then I took it out on the interstate and had really bad buffeting on the roof sounded like it was going to rip the soft top off. I removed it no more issues. I was considering the bushwhacker one as another option. Here is what it looked like before I returned it.

My vote is for the clear bra. The entire front end of my Jeep including the matte grille has clear bra and it's completely unnoticeable unless you are right up on the Jeep. The clear coat areas are done with Xpel Ultimate and the matte area is done with Xpel Stealth. I also have the front fenders, bumper inserts, windshield surround, mirrors, rear fenders, hood, head lights, and fog lights done.

Had one on a truck one time. It snowed about 4" one day, on the way home, I hit the brakes, snow slid off the front of the hood and took the bug shield with it. They get brittle in the cold.

I have the Bushwacker. A day or 2 after I put it on, my windshield got hit by a rock while doing about 70 on the highway. Sure as $hit I have a nice little crack in the windshield. My JKU has less than 500 miles on it. At this point I think the Bushwacker is more for looks than functionality in terms of being a bug/rock deflector.
