There are some pics of my 04 in that link, but they aren't very good photos, and they don't really show much of the high profile deflector.
The shield on the wrecked truck was made by Lund. I think it was the Interceptor.

I bought one right away after seeing what a truck without one looks like. Its a very inexpensive form of protection that you shouldnt pass up.

I had an early (last October) Ford low profile and had the hood shake. Took it of for a while and started to get stones nicks. Got another one this year and had no problem with it. I'm beginning to think they may have modified it since last year, but I don't have the old one to compare to.

It's well worth the $65. The only issue I have is that at 80 to 85 MPH, I hear a slight slapping sound from the wipers but it's very minor and thats only when they are not running.

I don't have the bug shield but I have a wiper cowl which might help with the slapping. I have been a little faster and have heard nothing. They can be painted also check out the link.
