Ford shows 2 of the smoke ones. One sticks on with 3M tape,the other is a "no drill" hardware. I didn't really want a bug guard,but after 3 weeks I already have a paint chip on the front of the hood. The chip is tiny, but the truck is Shadow Black and the primer underneath is white. Funny,the Ram 3500 I traded in was white,with black primer,it looked like a dog with fleas.

 

Might try some xpel self healing paint protection. I have it on my motorcycle saddlebags and if I drag my foot over the bag lid by mistake in the morning it's healed itself and looks like it never happened.

 

I just removed my bug shield, the no drill hardware one, to paint the mounting brackets so they would stop making rust run across my headlights. There is a rubber strip behind the shield to keep the space between the hood and shield. Dirt got in there and started sanding the paint off. I may just get a clear bra on the hood.

 

I read another thread stating there is a recall or program on this problem

 

Lund Aeroskin VHC3Z-16C900-C is the only one Ford lists now @$89 bucks...this one is the taped on version. Smoked color.

 

Yes...dealer told me they are re-doing the rust causing brackets and should be back shortly.

 

That has "SUPER DUTY" stamped in it,right ?

 

Thats what it shows!

 

Another vote. Aeroskins on last 3 trucks. Mine is AVS brand, which is still Lund. Not stamped or embossed, but only $48 at AutoAnything.com

 

Yet another vote for AVS, No rust!

 

I'm waiting for the parts to be plated or get some sort of coating before I buy.

 

If I remember right when I got mine, the stick on one has "super duty" in raised letters. The bracketed one is inset. I have the bracketed one. Looks nice but after reading this I will have to take a look at the brackets to see if they are corroding.

 

That stuff looks cool. Might not work to well on super dutys with the embossed letters in the hood

 

Factory Ford with the clips.
