Did any of you order the hood protector that Ford offers as an option? I am curious what it looks like. Is it worth it or should I look at something else? The picture on the SD website doesn’t show a very good picture of it.
This was originally installed on my 2017 F350 and then moved to my 2019 F350. I really like it.
The originsl cost was around $150 but the cost now is in the $300 range. Ford replaced the original under warranty because the hold down clips were rusting. The replacement was a new part number with coated hold down clips.
I found out yesterday that the "SUPER DUTY" embossed chrome deflector is a discontinued item . I found one vendor that still had some . I found out while helping another forum member find one for his truck . The new ones I've seen are chrome but are not embossed . Not sure why Ford thought it would be a good idea to discontinue , I guess it's cheaper to produce without the logo .
Had trouble getting the smoke color OEM from Ford so I bought this AVS Aeroskin 2 flat matte black finish to match the black on the front of the truck. Lays flat of the front of the hood and tapes on. Only $95 bucks installed at a local truck parts shop. No wind noise and no turbulence at highway speeds either.
I have the same one as Flyct, on his recommendation and I love it. Not sure how effective it is but it will definitely keep rock chips off of the leading edge of your hood.
