ABSTRACT:
Dual oncoming air spoilers for vehicles are mounted near the hood to deflect air carried bugs, rain, road spray, snow, and lightweight debris up and away from the windshield. They are provided essentially in a one embodiment kit having: two plastic panels; two bottom channels to respectively receive the two panels; four bendable and breakaway pre-drilled and countersunk brackets to be used in securing the bottom channels and their inserted bottom edges of the dual oncoming air spoilers to a front of a vehicle on or near the hood and standard fastener assemblies, all these components being assembled and installed using conventional hand tools for drilling access holes to receive the fastener assemblies and to secure them. By following selective installation procedures, the contents of this one embodiment kit are mountable on many different vehicles having many different hood widths and hood contour designs. For example the dual oncoming air spoilers are spaced apart on wider vehicles and arranged end to end on narrower vehicles. The pre-drilled countersunk malleable, bendable, breakaway brackets, usable, end for end, in a variety of positions and places, and being breakable at different lengths for respective different vehicle mountings, make this one embodiment kit of dual oncoming air spoilers installable on all vehicles having an extending hood configuration.
