I bought it from my dealer Blainville Pontiac, it is called "Perfect Fit"I was told from my dealer that it is an aftermarket piece since the one made from GM had too many quality complaints about it Glad you like it and I apologize for the huge pic!

Having trouble seeing what color that is? Is it body colored, or smoke?

Ahh. Thanks...Now, does it lie right against the hood, or is it like traditional ones, and is more straight up...

That looks really nice! $69.95 is cheaper than the Carflector ($89.95) and I like the way that one looks. How does it attatch? And how do other get a hold of one?

Hello Triton GT!This deflector is a "no drill" one. It is attached to the hood by 4 clips, it took my guy at Duro Auto 10 minutes to install it. I was told that the ones that drilled to the hood were recalled due to quality issues ( I was actually told that they broke off at the point of drilling ) Ask any accessories store about the difference and they will all swear that the no drills are much better, and safer for the hood and paint of the car.I am pretty sure that your local dealer will have them or can order it for you. I paid around 80$ CAN for mine.

Hey Sub,I am hoping you can help me with the part# and brand, etc. of this deflector. The dealer did't show ANY deflectors in their system. Thanks in advance. Pix

I paid it around 80$ CAN tax in. Ask your dealership and they can order it for you.

I tried at the dealer and they told me ther was no listing for it! I was hoping if you still have your invoice I could get the Part number. I find the dealers seem as though they are doing you a favor when you try to get parts.

Ventshade makes one (I don't think it has the nice moulded detail as the one posted above, but it's $37 plus shipping at:http://www.partsamerica.com/PartDetails ... et=AThat's for the smoked color, but there is also a clear one (20037C ?).

I'll check my invoice as well. But I doubt I'll get the GM part # as it is not a real GM part. This deflector is made by Perfect Fit.I bought it for $69,95 (cnd) from my dealer.

Thanks Sub, I guess I will check with a different dealer to see if they can get it.

I wonder if this is the same company:http://carbras.com/faq.htmThey claim to be "Perfect Fit". I gave a call, but had to leave a message.

According what I read on the site, "perfect fit" means it fit perfectly on the car. The bran is Air-O-Deflector

I just got a call from Ken at the webite I listed above (carbras.com). It turns out that they are, in fact, the "Perfect Fit" company that provides the deflector to car dealers. The Vibe deflector would cost $74.95 ($49.95 for the deflector and $25 shipping). His number is 800-486-8410. He is currently out of the Vibe deflector, but is expecting some more on Monday.I have to talk my wife into letting me order one.
