Its only a matter of time till I come home from work and see a 'Silly Boys, Trucks are for Girls' sticker in the back glass.

To the OP, sorry about the thread hijack.

That would be the one Ford sells through their dealers. Ford replaced the rusting fasteners on mine with new improved ones that are now painted and so far there is no sign of rust.

I have a this one sitting in my garage. I've tried 3 times to install it using the horrible mounting hardware. I'm ready to give up.

For that price I'd send it back. Much better deflectors can be had for less money.

I had a "bug deflector" on my last truck. I really like how they look, but I honestly don't believe it deflected any bugs from my truck.

Hood protector is a better name for them. Preventing stone chips was the main reason I installed one, the good looks was a side benefit.

Won it in a raffle. Cost me a few bucks.

If I can find someone local to give it to, I will. Knox TN.

Fair enough. I was going by your Amazon link and thought you purchased there. Sounds like it might be a nice Craigslist bargain for someone.
