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.
I installed the Wade in-channel visors and they fit like a glove. Not a bad product for the price Looks good too

I had a Vent Visor brand bug sheild on my 2000 Tundra and didn't like it. When I first installed it it had perfect spacing, but after about a year, it seemed to warp and twist till the passanger side was touching the hood, while the drivers side still was about a 1/2 off the hood. It looked weird, so I removed it.
