For any other curious individuals…
I’ve had my 392XR for about a month and am slowly getting my mods on. I travel for work in my Jeep. When I had my JK I HAD TO install a bug deflector. Driving through spring/summer time bugs had me going through wiper fluid EVERY round trip/weekly. The guard cut that in half and also prevent hood rock chips.
Now I’ve swapped that with the 392.
Obviously the 392s have a scoop and I was thinking a bug/rock guard might block air flow to it. I found no info anywhere about it…because I guess no one else was silly enough to waste money and try it.
But I did.
I got the Mopar bug/rock deflector, which screws on.

It definitely doesn’t block airflow because…the 392/Mojave hoods are taller than normal. It also helps you can adjust the angle with little bumpers it comes with, unlike the Rugged Ridge one that was on my JK.
Because of the hood height though I don’t think it will really deflect the bugs at all. However, it definitely will prevent rock chips to the hood edge, and I think it looks pretty nice too.
