I know right. I just love cocking my head over on an angle to view a picture.

AVS Aeroskin in Smoke on my 2015. As you can see I have no issues with the corners coming up. I live in Ohio and we get some pretty cold weather. These were put on the week after I bought the truck in '15.

Corners "lifting", "corners coming up" I don't have one of these. Can you explain what the issue is? Are the outer edges not adhered adequately causing the outer edges to vibrate / flap at speed causing the to break off?

Yeah I don't know. One of the earlier posters made comments about it happening to him. I haven't had any issues one bit. I even lightly tugged on it a bit last night and they are solid.

Thanks for that. Maybe that area did not adhere well for him.

Does anyone have a photo of our trucks with the white platinum metallic aeroskin? My truck is white. I am on the fence between the chrome and the custom OEM painted version. I want to compare it to the chrome one shown in this thread.

It is hard to imagine what these will look like on your truck and many are not available except online. Could anyone recommend what would look good on a white F150? Smoke? Color matched? Chrome? So far I am leaning chrome...

Yes AVS Aeroskin. I like it a lot. The ones I have had in the past that bolt on wold end up broken or cracked over time. This one was very flexible before I instead it.

I added an AVS Aeroskin II. Since I bought the truck i am not worried about attaching the the deflector to the hood with the provided 3m tape. Its been just about a year now since I installed it. No issues even with the cold weather here in Southern Ontario. Don't know why they call them bug deflectors since the windshield gets its share of bug splatter even with the original bug deflector I had on it when I bought it. Just did not like how it flapped in the wind. With the Areoskin II any stones flying up should be deflected above the windshield at least in theory. Just install it on a very warm day.
