Hood protector

Did any of you order the hood protector that Ford offers as an option? I am curious what it looks like. Is it worth it or should I look at something else? The picture on the SD website doesn’t show a very good picture of it.

This was originally installed on my 2017 F350 and then moved to my 2019 F350. I really like it.

The originsl cost was around $150 but the cost now is in the $300 range. Ford replaced the original under warranty because the hold down clips were rusting. The replacement was a new part number with coated hold down clips.

it does a good job of keeping bugs off the hood.

If it keeps water from pooling in the hood recesses and splashing on the windshield everytime I pull up to a stop sign, I might just have to get one.

What I went with

I went with the black OEM; can't find the pic...

Seems to be working out OK, but my older brother would give me a wet Willie for mounting mine 1/32" off center..

I found out yesterday that the "SUPER DUTY" embossed chrome deflector is a discontinued item . I found one vendor that still had some . I found out while helping another forum member find one for his truck . The new ones I've seen are chrome but are not embossed . Not sure why Ford thought it would be a good idea to discontinue , I guess it's cheaper to produce without the logo .

Had trouble getting the smoke color OEM from Ford so I bought this AVS Aeroskin 2 flat matte black finish to match the black on the front of the truck. Lays flat of the front of the hood and tapes on. Only $95 bucks installed at a local truck parts shop. No wind noise and no turbulence at highway speeds either.

I have the same one as Flyct, on his recommendation and I love it. Not sure how effective it is but it will definitely keep rock chips off of the leading edge of your hood.
