In the market for a bug shield for the front of my 01 suburban. Who makes the nicest looking one, or are they all similar?

In my opinion, don't get one.
There was a bugsheild on my Silverado for 6 years. Even a new paint job didn't get rid of the rust.

The best thing to get is a "bra" that covers only the end of the hood.

Yeah. Thats what I had on the Silverado.
They may have changed the design now, but that bugsheld I had wouldn't let water evacuate from the lip of the hood and over time the paint became perforated enough for water to get under and rust it.

You think it's ok to drill drain holes on the underside of the shield or is that not a good idea?
