I’m going to return it and get this grille

And leave the bug deflector off?

And leave the bug deflector off?

You think I should? I’ve been debating…

Looks better without.

Yes, I think you should delete it. I understand why it's there. I think they seriously diminish the looks.

Enough said. I’ll delete it. If I want to protect my hood, I could run a little bit of clear wrap over that area maybe. Unless any of you have another option?

3m clear protective film would be what I would go with.

I had the body shop leave mine off when the turkey decided I would need a new hood. It looks better. I just need to get some protective film on there when I ceramic coat the truck this spring.

Those flying meat sacks can deal some damage! KM

There it is without the bug deflector. I like it way better. However from other pics you can see the marks and scuffs in the paint it’s caused.
Also, the correct bumper end caps from Ford arrived today. Now to get them painted.

Those aren’t scuff’s - they’re battle scars!
It looks great.👍

 

[FanaticalKilla]

Like the no deflector look as well

The Dad in me tells my kids that rock chips on the hood and windshield comes from following vehicles too closely, but since I'm not your Pop, I won't say anything.

Haha, well I only have one small chip in the windshield and all chips on the hood are from before the big deflector was put on so I’m assuming the first owner?

I am not sure but I am almost certain it’s over 450 at the wheels. I bet it’s around 600 crank.

It is. I drive it every single day.

I’m in Arizona for a little vacation and filled up with some e85. I put 13.5 gallons, and the rest of 19.3 gallons with 91. So probably about an e30 mix.

Looks like Phoenix. I have a sister and BIL in Glendale. KM
