All-

I have been looking for a hood deflector for almost 1 year now with no luck. I am trying to locate one that DOES NOT attach with any hood clips or all adhesive (like the AeroSkin).

Does anyone make one that just snaps into place using factory holes??

 

AVS does.

 

Do you know which one??

 

I will have to try and find my receipt
Have had it for a yr, still looks new.

I want the same thing. I have a 2018 F150 and tried the AVS Bugflector II and it had 2 metal clips that uses clear tape and you put them on the hood edge. I installed it and those clips don't allow the hood to close properly. They rest on top of the headlights not allowing it to sit flush. I even adjusted the hood stops with no luck.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

Thanks,

Kevin

 

I know you said "no clips" and the Stampede has them, but I got mine installed with no closure issues. The Stampede seems to be a heavier grade of plastic than the AVS models I had on my Explorers and on Mrs. Aqualung's 2002.

My only complaint is the crappy anchors Stampede provided for mounting. There was no way the cheesy, plastic expanders would hold the deflector and the "hood gasket". I had to go to the hardware store and get #8 (I think) drywall anchors that fit the holes perfectly.

I got the RealTree Xtra option:

 

I'm beginning to think they are all going to have the clips unless they are stick on. I'm not totally against the clips, but I just don't want them to damage my headlights.

I will look at the Stampede.

Thanks

 

The previous owner of my 2015 had a defector on. The clips damaged the paint even with the plastic strips under them. Only defect in the paint is where the four clips attached.

 

AQUALUNG,

I notice that your shield extends past the hood edge with a small curve. The one I saw online appears to stop at the hoods edge. Do you have any idea what model Stampede you have. I like the option that curves around like yours. I've had several trucks and have never had this much trouble with a bugshield.

Thanks,

Kevin
