Bug Deflector/Air Shield

Anyone know where I can view some pics of bug deflectors/air shields on an 08/09 Super Duty? I want to purchase one but not sure which style to go with. Most sites I have checked sell them for my year but the pics they show are on older styles or even different makes...can't really tell what they look like/compare.

I haven't bought from these people so I don't know much about their product but I think I will be buying from them. I like their bug deflectors.

I would have to have one that does not cover the bold SUPERDUTY on the front grille

I do have one of those gizmos on my hood, installed by PO and not only it catches all the oak-corns at my place, but lately noticed that the plastic rubbed the chrome off the top of the grille. Not that you can see it with hood down, but makes me thinking do I really want it.

Theoretically those things should deflects the bugs.
If they do, I can't tell the difference.

actually they improve mileage by 4 miles per gallon,,lol. I installed a new one on my 01 this week and I sprayed my front (chrome) grill with black line-x as just like Kajtek had stated that it rubbed the chrome off. Problem solved and it looks friggin awesome,imo. I`ll post pics later.
