I personally have the Stampede brand (part # 2149-1) and had a shop paint it my Tri coat Ruby Red. (they just reversed the painting procedure).
What I like about it: It does NOT require mounting "sandwiched" between the grille & hood .... It simply uses 3M tape under the lip of the grille, and 2 mounting OEM holes with plugs under the hood & 2 mounting screws - NO drilling. It mounts away & off the hood so you can get your hand to wash & wax behind it. (It doesn't use any of those rubber "bump offs" and does not touch your paint)....You hardly even notice it's there!

Good lord what a fine lookin truck! Love the willie g front plate, your truck just has a great classy look to it
2009 - 2014 models are pretty much the same fitment as far as hood protectors (or bug deflectors) are concerned. Auto Ventshade, Lund, and Stampede are just one of many manufacturers.
