Ford F150 bug shield

I am thinking of getting the Ford F150 bug shield for my 04 F150. I have had problems in the past (other vehicles) where the extra air buffeting was so bad that the side mirrors shook when going down the highway. Anyone have any unpleasant experiences the Ford f150 bug shield? I am assuming since Ford sells it specifically for this truck it would be okay...

Also, there appears to be a high and low profile bug shield. Anyone know the difference? (http://www.fordgenuineaccessory.com/...g_Shield.4.htm)

The high profile sticks up more than the low profile

I couldn't resist. I have the ventshade bugflectorII. It is nice and sturdy and I notice no extra noise.

Here is a link to a couple of pics of mine. I'm not sure if it is the low or high.

I've got the Ford High Profile deflector on my 04 Super Crew. No problems yet and it's been there for a year and a half.
