It’s a non-issue on mine, because the deflector sits tight.

It is crinkled, matches the rest of the black trim on the truck perfectly.

do they make this one in the gloss black?

I think the deflector looks nice but don’t prefer the flat black

o have a black 23 truck that I think it would look good on in gloss

LEMII/all,

I have used a bolt on for 4 trucks since 2008. All were an incredible improvement in reduction of bugs on windshield, AND improved visibility in driving rain. No problems at all. Most chrome, one gloss black like truck. I think it was the 15 that I had not yet put the deflector on - too new no accessories yet- that I found out about the rain. Before and after were Incredible improvement.

Still on the fence about the glue on but I have a Ford gloss one in the garage waiting for action by me….

Thanks.
