OEM Looks the best IMHO. Some use adhesive and I was not interested in that. The OEM is held only by six clips that attach to the inside of the hood. Its also adjustable, you can raise it by about a 1/4 inch and by doing so you get rid of the whistling that some experience at cruise speed.

I went with an aeroskin (sp). It is form fit and doesn't cover any of the grill surround. It is availible in smoke or chrome.

Yup, I had a bugshield II, it whistled, got the aeroskin instead. I'd sell you my bugshield for $5 plus shipping. . But I figure shipping would be killer. My advice is watch eBay and check 'used' on Amazon. Amazon has Warehouse Deals, dented box and such under 'Used' goty bug shield for $24 bucks and a Weber gas grill for $150 last year.

FWIW As far as adhesive, all the f150 emblems are stuck on with 3M...

Cost of this? And would a dealership still carry oem shields for my 2008?
