$62. and no drilling . the grille has to be removed and it has tabs that sit behind it . Then the clips go on the hood ( over tape they supply) and have thumb screws to retain the ends. I take it thru car washes and it holds great. Took about twenty minutes to install

My truck is white, I think if I get them I will paint them (along with my mirrors) with Krylon Gloss white. I have seen some other body pieces painted and it matched nicely. They are plastic, arent they???

Plus I think they will look good once I get my new hood and paint scheme...

Looks awesome bluestang, reminds me of the front of my truck with the grille inserts. I have been thinking about getting the bug deflector also, how good is the fit, and is there enough room behind it to wash and wax?? Lookin' GOOD!!!

From personal experience, don't take the grill all the way off to install bug shield. Just loosen the bolts and slide it in. Saves lots of time....

roboots the fit is great this is the low profile one . They do have a high profile also but i like the tight fit on the hood.
