Bug Deflector

Does anyone know where i can find a bug shield for my 2011 F-350. I looked on the ford website and the picture they have of it looks really sharp, but i have tried a few ford dealers and they say they can't get them yet. Has anyone ordered one or is there an aftermarket one i can order that you know of. Thanks, Craig

I've purchased two hood deflectors in the past and have always used Weathertech products (for the side window deflectors also).

WeatherTech Automotive Accessories - Stone & Bug Deflector - 2011 Ford F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550 - WeatherTech Stone and Bug Deflector, Bug Shield, Stone Guard

If you decide to get one (whatever brand), please post a picture or two.
I'm not sure how it will look on this truck so I have not purchased one yet.

ordered a bugflector II from SVcustoms. looks and fits well. if you get one make sure to adjust your grille outward all the way so there is no rubbing. doesn't say that in the instructions for the bugflector II. saw it in the instructions for one from another manufacturer.

I've never found the contoured ones to work particularly well, for their intended purpose. Do the new ones actually seem to keep the bugs off the windshield?

I put them on my vehicles mostly to protect the hood from rock chips. They probably deflect some bugs too not sure to what extent but when I wash the truck there is usually a good bit of bug guts to clean off the deflector that otherwise would have hit the hood or windshield.
