I don't think Eyesight likes bug deflectors
I installed the clear bra on my wife's 22 outback 18" up on the hood. I plan on doing the same or further up on my 23' Ascent. The material I am using is self healing.As an alternative, you could consider something like a so-called "clear bra" type wrap on the front to protect the finish without getting in the way of the safety features.
