Car Wash Damage to OEM Hood Deflectors??

We have the Mugen VentVisors on the sides and go through touchfree's. They don't even flex or budge a bit. They're very HD.
Where can I find a hood deflector? We got our first ding/chip in the hood today...it's unbelievably delicate. None of my other cars have dings from the small rocks that kick up, but my 2 month old Fit already has one.
Oh, and I'll take my chances with the hood deflector. The one on my Explorer has probably seen 1,000 touchfree's and my Superduty probably saw 2,000 cause that thing was too big to wash by hand.

Order from Angelo at Zeta Products. I think that they are still on sale. Please install carefully and take it to your nearest car wash!

Dude, why are you worrying so much about this.
First off is that EVERYONE knows that people lie on the internet. Everyone who has the internet and is at all familiar with forums KNOWS to do their research before buying any product. One bad review doesn't mean much, but 25 does and 500 bad reviews means so much more!
Secondly, just because "G" doesn't have photographic proof doesn't mean a thing. I don't know if it did or if it didn't and to be honest I really could care less either way. Why the urge to "convince" people that he is wrong???
Finally, is this thread to find out if they stay on the car ok or to call people liars and try to pick a fight? It seems to me that it's the latter. What, 1 sentence about the topic of the thread and the rest of the initial post is telling people that they are dumb.
Seriously man... let it be! People are going to post what they want and believe what they want. Just because none of us have had our cars catch on fire doesn't mean that it's not impossible. Just because we know that the Earth is round doesn't mean that people believe(d) otherwise. People will always believe whatever they want to believe!!!

Have you tried PM'ing the member(s) politely to try to resolve the issue?
As I said before, if the purpose was to find out about the hood deflectors then you should have left it at that in the original post. There was no need to call out members and insult people when it wasn't needed.
This really is one of those situations where less is more!

Then leave? So your saying that you don't accept that a moderator who was chosen to do a job is living up to YOUR expectations???

As I have posted elsewhere, claymore is my evil twin brother. As TOOL has posted, I am more "polite" than claymore.
This thread asked only Canadian and American owners of OEM hood deflectors to either support, or refute, "G"s claims that they blow off in car washes. What we have so far is 5 people with Fits and hood deflectors, or Fit dealers with hood deflector experience, who state that they have had zero issues with car wash damage, and that such damage is not possible. We also have another member who said that his deflector "flapped around" in a car wash, which means that he is either talking about a different car with a different deflector, or his OEM deflector on his Fit is not installed properly. Properly installed deflectors on Fits CANNOT "flap around".
All other comments from people who do not own OEM deflectors have nothing to do with the question asked in this thread, but NO ONE is enforcing the "stay on topic" "rule".

Posts number 32-35 were ALL off topic.
At this point this thread is pretty much usless, manxman you got to proof that your "right" again. So you go what you wanted. Any more off topic posts and im locking it.

Correction-
The last SIX posts have been off topic, including yours. And to answer your question, the evidence of my claim about lies is still coming in. Out of at least 50 deflector owners, no reports of car wash damage, but only 5 reports. 45 to go, and deflectors are still being sold. My evidence about lies is that no car wash damage exists, and the design of the deflector prevents such damage from being possible.
If you can't understand this logic, pray that you never wind up in a court of law.
Lock away, but you then prevent any evidence to support "G".
