Just wondering if anyone has applied a hood protector to their Pathfinder. I swear, despite not tailgating and also doing my best not to be in the same lane as dumptrucks or flatbeds I am somehow a magnet for rocks and stones getting kicked up on my vehicle's hood and windshield.
Maybe it's just the fact my 'Finder is black and a coat of chalky white wax reveals all the little nicks in the hood. Either way I am considering an OEM hood protector.
Does anyone know if these actually work? If you haven't used them on your Pathfinder did you have much luck on a previous vehicle?

they definitely work!
my OEM hood protector was cracked by a rock that most certainly would have damaged either my hood or windscreen or both, which would have cost far more to repair than a replacement hood protector did.
I had the Nissan deflector on my Hardbody and now I have one on my 06 Pathfinder. They definitely save the front of the hood from chips. I also agree that it was a real pain as far as installation (on the Pathy), but I'd rather have one with screws than an aftermarket deflector that only used two-side tape.

Bought the Pathfinder used, as a "bush-beater" so I'm not too concerned about dings and chips. (If you saw the latest "tree-branch pin striping" from the weekend you would likely cringe 
)
Our other vehicle is an '07 Passat wagon. I've owned it since new and had the dealer install the 3M clear-bra adhesive film. It's held up great for 220000 km.
Just another option...
