Question Bug Deflector

I need some opinions on what bug shield to buy. My truck is an 03 F250 SD
I was looking at Lund models. They say the Interceptor is their best seller. That model sticks up quite a bit compared to others. Should I go with a low profile or not? One that won't fade would be nice. Any suggestions would be nice.

i kinda like the low profile ones on newer nice clean trucks - sporty lookin
in my opinion if its a work truck go with the higher profile one it looks better on dirty ragged trucks - tough lookin
thats just what i think

Lund has always been popular. Also if you don't want it to fade I know there are paint matching deflectors out there and those look sharp too. I am thinking about getting an all white one for my truck (I am trying to make it all white (all the aftermarket stuff))

I'm not sure who makes them. I had one on my truck, came that way when I bought the truck used. If you can find a clear one alls you do is paint the back side the color of your truck. Don't paint the front or it will chip. Hope that helps a little.

Bug Deflectors...do they really work ?

I've always wondered...do these bug deflectors actually make a difference what hits your windshield ? Or do people buy these just for " looks " ?
