BUG DEFLECTOR

Anyone got a good source of supply for a bug deflector by mail? Would prefer the chrome-look one with the Ford emblem. Ideas/links appreciated.

forgot to mention the bug deflector desired is for a 2008 Escape. I have a chromed-plastic one on my F150 and am looking for a similar one for the Escape.

Anyone find one of these & how much? The aftermarkets in Canada are over $100 and seems a bit steep.

Thanks, but E-bayers who do not include "worldwide" or "Canada" in their "SHIPS TO" section won't sell to us, in fact the software wont even accept a bid. Many firms just dont want to deal with the extra customs paperwork. Annoying but true.
Other ideas?

That 2nd link is to TruckChamp.com not an ebayer.

correct but the fine print says they don't ship internationally, so short of opening up a post office box in a border town, and driving there to pick it up, can't get these products sent to Canada.

If you want the FORD logo, it's going to have to be by FORD, or licensed by FORD. Is it available as a FORD aftermarket accessory through a dealership?

My wife wanted a good fitting sunshield for the windshield, real important down here. She saw that the parts dept. had them. I said hold off, let's see if I can get it cheaper through an online Ford dealer I use. Turned out that the accessory stuff was sold at list online, no discount. So she picked one up at the dealer when we brought it in for the PCM reflash. She says it fits perfectly.
