hood wind deflector

[glorybound4]

Does anyone have or now where to get a wind(bug) deflector for the hood. I've searched and called dealers, after market parts for the Kizashi are hard to come by.iI have oem one on my Sx4 and find it works,I live in the mountains in central Pa. and we have lots of winter road salt and chips( good skiing) and summer flying insects(good fly fishing). thanks, Frank

Well that sucks!

They're available in Australia, but postage would be a killer.

I have one, but bought it from a dealer who no longer sells Suzuki parts.

I do want to add that the OEM hood deflector sold in the USA is made in Australia.
The Aussies also seem to have different (better) options regarding them.
- Some Aussie members have OEM deflectors that are clear. USDM ones I've seen were all black. Mine is black, however I have a black Kizashi so it blends in perfectly.
- The Aussie market deflectors have "Kizashi" written on them while USDM deflectors have "Suzuki".

That's because our road surfaces (especially out in the country areas) can be so rough/ gravelly.

Here's the two versions:

http://www.suzuki.com.au/vehicles/model ... -protector

The clear variety will inevitably end up with water marks/ stone chips/ scratches all over it (so won't be so clear/ unobtrusive in a year or two.) The smoked will probably hide those blemishes better.

Still looking,shipping from Australia to east coast USA is 170.00 from a Suzuki Dealer, I tried Germany no luck, I'll try Great and Britain and post results. Hello USA anyone selling one or have lead would be much appreciated.

I am currently searching for the same so I'll be keeping an eye out, so post your results please.
I had one on my prior car and waited a bit too long to get it for the Kizashi, and so here I am, LOL.

I might have found a solution: http://mptuner.com.au/index.php?route=p ... path=18_45

Listed for AUS$70 and a quick experiment showed freight as being AUS$32 to Altoona. Seems pretty good to me? They sell mats as well.

(I can't see how they'll be able to honour that freight price, but that's what the site says...)
