Oem ford is what I used and it seems quite sturdy compared to the aftermarket ones.

The Ford OEM bug shield that came on my 2005 Ex caused 4 serious "divots". 2 on the hood and 1 on each front fenders. Not good! I will post images.

BTW: I have a 2005 Ford OEM bug shield for sale. Good price.
Don't recommend using it tho'.

i have an AVS in chrome. they also make stainless steel but the actually dent when something bangs against it. i have had mine on for about 3 years. here it is. it mounts using 4 screws that use existing holes under the hood. nothing touches the outside of the hood.

I have Old Glory on Mine. I put the self sticking 1" pads on the end of mine so it would not rub the fender.

I like the clean looks of my X w/o a bug shield... BUT, if I did want to install one on it, I'd go with a LUND INTERCEPTOR. I had one on my old F250 SD and I really liked the way the smoke color accented the colors of the grille on the truck.

Here's a pic




I actually installed a few for friends of mine with SD Fords. Not too hard either.

Never any rubs or problem issues either.
