1st mod, bug deflector

Ok guys, here is my first new mod
It's made by EGR and sold through JC Whitney
the cost is $99.95
the fit is great, the hardest part was making sure it lined up. the little clips that secure the ends are installed after a non maring clear tape is placed in the hood to protect the paint.
I loosened the bolts between the hood and grill and slid the four large crecent shaped tabs between then tightend the bolts. Install time about 20 min.
I was going to buy the OEM bug deflector but
this was a gift from a friend so I felt obligated to install it.
here is the link to my newly created gallery. (IF IT WORKS)

look at the very end of the link--you had 'gnom' instead of 'gnum'

Cut and paste my friend

update:
just came back from a ride, I did not notice the bug deflector vibrating, wiggling, or shaking at speeds 70+ or going over the railroad tracks
I did get some interesting looks, a guy in a 05 250 gave me this
a poor bas&%rd in a dodge almost ran into me, his jaw dropped and continued to stare. (was it the bug guard or just the FX4?) I also got a from another guy,
seems to be a good product.
I'm happy with it, and best of all it was a gift so it cost me nothing
