Default Bug visor that isn't junk?

I'd like to get a bug visor for my truck if only to keep the rock chips off the leading edge of the hood. Every one I've seen so far including the OEM ones has either lackluster or mixed reviews. People say they rattle, don't fit well, or make a lot of wind noise. Does anyone have a bug visor that they are happy with?

Get an AVS aeroskin, replace their tape with 3M body mould tape.

I'd use PPF on the leading edge of my hood instead of uglying up my truck with a bug gaurd..

Weathertech- had one on my ‘03, so when i bought new blue,(15 XLT) i put one on it.
Although i didnt like the mounting hardware with the new one- went to Harbor Freight and bought their riv-nut kit( i crimped them in the mounting holes in the hood, and used number size fasteners to fasten it under the hood) Worked much better!
