I wanted to show some pics of why NOT to get a Profile+ Bugflector:
From a distance it looks geat:

But upon closer inspection you will see the little "velcro" stickers that hold it to the hood:

Do you guys think the stickers will damge the paint over time?

BTW I bought it used for $20.00 so I'm not complaining, but I would have been ticked if I would have paid $40 or $50 for it new.
I might replace it with a REAL bugflector in the future, they seem to be much better made.

Have one myself (came on the truck when I bought it) Problem is they don't stay stuck like they should. Didn't hurt the paint though. I am going to replace soon.

 

Get ya a Bugflector II bugshield. Seems to me to be one of the better ones. Does not even touch the hood on the outside.
I got a clear one and had the back painted to match my truck.
Good Luck!

Y'know what I just noticed? I, like 54, have the profile+ deflector. Mine doesn't look like yours! When I saw your pic I noticed that it really does wrap around. Mine stops just shy of the sidelights. Anyone else noticed that theirs might be a bit small? WHY? it was made for this truck, so what's going on here?
