Bug Screen

[Riggo]

Can anyone help me find a bug screen that will easily fit and be easily removed from the front of my 3.8? The treacherous love bug season will soon be upon us in Florida and I would like to be prepared.

If you spray the front with Pam the bugs won't hurt your paint because they can't stick to it. Did this once on a trip to Florida and it worked. Just make sure you wash it off every few days and reapply. If you leave it on too long it becomes kind of sticky and more difficult to wash off.

Griot's Garage also sells a removable protective film you can apply. It's not like a custom clear bra installation, but is intended for short term use like you describe. Just apply it and every once in a while remove it (and the bugs) and stick on a new piece.

I got mine from Advance Auto. Cost something like $6.95. You have to tie the elastic cord to the grommets, then spread the screen across the front of the car. The ends of the elastic cords connect to the supplied hooks. The hooks connect to any location on the front wheel wells. Works great.

Sometimes, you can find them at Walmart. I believe Auto Zone also has them.

The last time I purchased them at AA, the first AA did not have any, but the second did.

As for those other things mentioned in this thread, I just don't see it for me, as the screen goes on in 1 minute and comes off in 1 minute.

Those of you who don't live in Florida (or other Southern States) just don't know about "Love Bugs". Their two seasons are May and September.
Google "Love Bugs".
