Good visibility is must when one is driving on the road. With smashed bugs and insects on one's windshields, visibility is greatly reduced, which could cause accidents and not to mention the disgusting look of dead insects splattered all over the windshield. The GM bug shield is a physical barrier that keeps away bugs, rocks, stones and road debris from the hood for added protection.

The GM bug shield is usually made of either high-impact plastic or resilient metal. With the GM bug shield, all airflow is redirected over the vehicle so when one is driving in bad weather, much of the precipitation will stay off the windshield, allowing the driver to see a little easier. Moreover, small pebbles and other debris that may scratch the finish of the hood or crack the windshield will be safely carried away.

The GM bug shield is installed at the front of the hood. Bug shields that are made of clear or tinted plastic are used so as not impede the view of the road ahead. The tinted bug shields, on the other hand, can help reduce sun glare.

Convenience is another important thing to consider when it comes to having a car. And being unable to close or open a car door is definitely inconvenient. The GM tailgate is a kind of door or hinged-board that is located at the rear end of big vehicles such as pickup trucks, sports utility vehicles, and station wagons. This door allows easy access to the truck bed. Most tailgates are folded flat for additional cargo space. Other tailgates are folded sideways which look like other doors of the vehicle. In opening and closing the tailgate, a handle is used. This handle is called the GM tailgate handle. It is made of extra durable plastic to make it strong enough to deliver the right performance. Some car owners even paint their GM tailgate handles to match the color of the their tailgates and some put covers for added protection. To enjoy continuous convenience, a damaged GM tailgate handle must be replaced immediately.
