Also the factory deflector uses existing holesto riv-nut the deflector to the hood. Nice, clean and secure.

If you really want to see the photo and then want to debate if it is photoshoped at all send me an e-mail and I will send you a picture of the GM Painted Hood Deflector on my 2007 Tahoe and then you can go ahead and debate whether or not my Tahoe is real or photoshoped.
However that photo that was posted is good and that is what it looks like.
I personally like it and think it looks good.

Hey there guys well here is my Silver Birchwood Metallic 2007 Tahoe with GM Factory painted front hood deflector. I think this is far superior in looks compared to other models. Dont get me wrong I am no way stuck with GM products since I buy a lot of aftermarket items.
However I had a weathertech hood deflector on my 2002 Silverado and that was an awesome piece of equipment and was going to buy it for my Tahoe. But when I saw the painted version from GM it definitely changed my mind and was a lot better if you ask me.
However I will let the pictures do the talking.

Donnie

Also if you dont like the GM Factory one I am pretty sure that the weathertech model uses the existing holes as well but it is not color matched. At least they matched up on my 2002 Silverado but I have to say hands down I think and believe the GM match painted looks a lot better and seems to fit the lines and style perfectly.

I went with a weathertech smoke to match the weathertech vent visors.I thoughtsmoke would go well with greystone.

I'm getting the 3M clear bra this week and may be losing the shield anyway. The weathertech does have rubber expanding rivets that bolt up to existing holes under the hood, BUT you have to put on the little 3M rubber stops on the hood to keep the protector from banging on the hood. I hate those, but this protector seems to hug the hood lip tighter than the GM one.

Here is a shot of the deflctors hand cut out so you can grab the hhod to shut it. There is a cut out on each side.
