I did the ebay Wade "thing" on my previous truck. (04 Chevy Silverado) I had in-channel vent visors that were ok, but the Wade bugshield I had didn't fit properly when new. Two areas rubbed. Instead of messing with shipping and an ebayer 1/2 way across the country I broke out the dremel tool and took off the part that was rubbing and buffed it with a dremel buffing tool. It looked and worked fine, but it always bothered me that I had to mess with something new to make it fit.. Personal opinion....Wade's bugshields, ventvisors, etc are substandard quality. I'd go with the Toyota OEM or AVS if I were doing it again. I haven't personally seen any AVS products for the new Tundra yet. Guess it's a matter of waiting for them to hit the market.
