I had the Bushwacker version of the AVS deflector on my JKU. I loved the look. What I didn't like is how the color faded from black to grey no matter what I did.

The WeatherTech deflector is smoked acrylic and should not fade. It also doesn't have the hump. I'm just waiting for it to get above 60 degrees so I can install mine (it just arrived today).

I just got one of these. It just sticks on with 3M double sided tape. The texture matches the black non painted fenders. $71. https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/2020-...ogle_9816039562_98101475017__pla-668137085706

This one is only a hood protector, not a bug deflector.

Do any of these really deflect bugs? I cleaned my windshield last weekend and took a 100 mile drive and my windshield was covered with dead bugs. It was terrible.

They are basically the same thing. I just received the WeatherTech one today. I had the AVS/Bushwacker one on my JKU. AVS even lists it as a "Hood Protector". Look at the the link you posted - it says it right there. Other than the hump and material, what's the difference between the WeatherTech and the Bushwacker/AVS ones? They all use 3M tape to adhere to the hood. None of them have been proven to be effective at actually deflecting bugs.

If you want a bug deflector, then you need one of these:

No, they are only asthetic. I've had them on multiple jeeps, and bug deflection on the windshield was unavoidable with any of these "bug deflectors". I will say that debris related chips and bugs splatter on the leading edge of hood would be diminished with any of these choices.
