Body Block Shield (Summit Products)
Have been considering getting this Body Block shield installed on our Phaeton. Does anyone have this one or a similar product? If so, have you had any issues with it or noticed any additional heat ...

I had a similar shield on our now 20 year old rig (see picture in sig) but removed it a few years ago.
Problems:
It took a lot of time to polish it to remove fogging.
I had to remove about six wing bolts to open the generator door with the shield still attached.
The generator door was next to impossible to clean behind the shield.
The shield was next to impossible to clean in front of the generator door.
It did not protect the lower bumper of my rig.
Postives:
It did reduce the dings from road ammo.
It did save the fiberglass from a direct hit by a pheasant at 50 mph.
I still have the shield but probably will not remount it.
