Got mine thru the Ford dealership. Paid $69 but I got it when I purchased the truck so supposedly dealer cost. Very easy install

You're the 2nd person to mention it deflects against stones. How much wind pressure is really coming off this thing? I can understand brushing a few bugs to the side, but stones?

I did not see where he used the word "deflect" but if a stone hits the bugshield instead of the front of the hood then it saved one rock chip. I have had a bug shield on ever truck I have owned (11) since 1977 and have not had one rock chip on a hood. Lots on the grill and front bumper tho. I gotta think they help even tho the truck probably looks better w/out it. I have never had one on a car but sure have a lot of rock chips on them
