Last 3 trucks I've gone with AVS Aeroskin. Stick directly to the hood with double sided tape. Dozens upon dozens of trips through the car wash. No problems.
I've gotten to the point that I do not like the looks of a deflector that screws to the hood or uses any kind of brackets. Too bulky for me.

I don't know how anyone would know this. That tape sticks fantastic. You aren't going to pull the deflector off without damaging it in my experience. I let 'em go with the truck when I trade. Same with stick on window visors.

50/50 on getting one for my truck also. Lund Aeroskin has a Ford part number and is $89 bucks...the other Ford deflector is around $159 bucks and has the free rust brackets to mount!! Rumor has it that Ford engineers have been working round the clock to correct this problem!!

Yeah, I felt silly after I asked the question. Post question, THEN step outside to look at the truck, and see, there is not way a bug deflector does not cover those up.
