I was replacing a champagne chrome grille with a darker one so installing this was easy with screws loosened already. Took a few minutes to slip and tighten down.There are gaps on the wings that seem designed. I felt pictures were not very clear on the listing.Box areived in horrible shape but it has enough flex and it survived.

Perfect fit 👍 very simple to install, just remove the grill, snap the two ends and replace the grill. This is one of the sturdier ones I have ever had. Well made, fast delivery looks great.

Great look. Definitely prevents chipping. My last hood guard lasted 10 years...my hood was in immaculate shape when I took the old one off. Unfortunately, I decided to wait a little over a year to order a new replacement guard...and I just noticed at least 10-15 chips while installing this.My only CON is that the plastic anchors and screws that mine came with barely keep the shield in place. They aren't snug by any means. The anchors almost wanted to fall out before I reinstalled my grill to the hood (2005 F150). I definitely didn't strip them out, maybe they sent me the wrong size?Overall I'm very pleased with this item. It does what it's supposed to do...protect your hood.

Perfect look for the F150!

Ordered and installed this one to replace an older identical model deflector that broke during a small mishap. Easy install and a good look.

It was not hard to put on and had instructions and looks good on truck!

This fit perfect on my F-150, would like to say it was an easy install my difficulty was the anchors in my grill stripped and came out or broke so I actually had to order a new replacement grill for my truck, dang the luck! Bugflector does its job in keeping probably 95% of the bugs off my windshield, I live in a rural lake area and going over bridges was a challenge keeping the windshield clean this is a 200% improvement getting one for the wife's car. Not the sellers fault but blame lies with FedEx 1st one was broken in 3 places due to FedEx's lack of care and taking responsibility in handling of the shipment. Seller promptly sent a replacement next day they were AWESOME in customer care and satisfaction, FedEx on the other hand sucks!

Installed easily after a fight from hell removing the old grill. Had to zip cut 5 of 6 bolts on a 2004 Lariat. Replaced the grill at the same time so wasn't to concerned

Fits perfect and super easy to install

fits great looks awesome

Arrived quickly. Very easy to install. Fit perfectly.

One of the best deflectors out there, that doesn't rely on two sided tape to hold it on like many things do, which makes them almost impossible to remove without destroying them. A+ Would recommend over the other offerings out there. The only issue with pretty much everything made of plastic now it that it is all overpriced.
