How many bugs do you smash?

Probably looking forward to getting a new bumper soon & clear bra....mine's chipped pretty bad, oh and I found these suckers murdered and glued to my bumper...

I feel ya. I work in the middle of nowhere basically and the commute is 60 MPH through the country. It's gotten better lately, but the morning after the first good rainstorm of the season left my car absolutely covered in those damn things.

Same problem with me, except some land ON my car when its parked and leave big ugly yellow spots...i might go with the clear bra as well on the front bumper. Hopefully it will be "invisible"..

Yeah, ND was bug heaven. Hopefully TX will be a little better. I hate having a bug graveyard on the front of my car.

Tx is NOT better, if you're in the city...u'd be ok. I live a lil ways off, almost country side. And the suckas i hit, are HUGH. U hear it go WHACK on your car and usually its a quarter size splat if not bigger. I shall take picture one day. Im actually getting a clear bra tomorrow morning though =)

Crushing my dreams of a bug free place. Haha. I'm in San Antonio, not really open country so hopefully it'll not be too bad.

Fort Worth has been pretty bad. I will be opting for a clear bra for the next bumper/car.

Friend of mine has a CB on his Audi A5 and I highly doubt it...it's pretty thick.

As far as being invisible...ny friend's isn't. It's quite noticible. Now, I don't know if he's taking care of it properly or not, but still you can see it without trouble.

Im in south Carolina/georgia. You wanna know about bugs.....drive on any interstate going +60mph and tell me how your Front bumper looks. I now carry a bug spray and cloth in my car to wipe them Lil buggers off.

Texas has ALOT of bugs. I 'SMASH' (literally) giant bugs on the highway. After a week of daily commute, expect alot of bugs to be on the front bumper...

When I lived in Houston the "love bugs" were thick, and I do mean thick!

Here is Vegas is about as bug free as you can get. Bugs aren't stupid they hate the heat! At night can be a different story though.
