OK, guys as said in my other post, I just bought my new truck last week. Well two days later I'm driving down the HWY at 70 mph and the dang hood deflector flies off!!! Uuugh...
Anyway, I have the window "wind deflectors" too and they matched the hood shield. All are an off brownish/maroon tint. I like the look and would like to just get another brownish hood deflector but for the life of me I can not find one with this odd tint color.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, someone tell me they know where to get one???

Here's the only pic I have of the deflector before it hit the highway at 70mph

 

I am pretty sure it is just a smoked one because it lets some of the truck come through as it is transparent. So just try a smoked one and chances are it will match.

 

X2. It may have also faded a bit over time to allow more of the truck color to show through.

 

see what DFW camper corral has since you are local to DFW

I agree just get a smoked, or black version and you should be all set

 

The truck must not have liked having that ugly thing on it so it threw it off

 

The minute I saw you posted... I knew you would say that.

I like them for functionality

I thought I was the only one.. When I bought my FX4 about 1 1/2 years ago ( USED 2003) Mine blew off on the way home from where I bought it.. LOL I never put another one on.. But I guess if I ever decide to I will probably go with a clear one ... I still have the side wind deflectors on the windows , it is is great for when it rains because I still smoke even after the government taxed my ciggs..

 

i have the window deflectors on mine, my truck came with them and a bug deflector, but i took it off. i like its purpose but dont like its look. i left the window ones tho i like em im sure glad they didnt put any on the back windows (extended cab) i hate how stupid they look because they have to get bigger at the back to be able to open the back windows.

 

 

It sounds like yours may have been smoked...was it a factory ford one though or aftermarket

 

Thanks for all the help guys!


I considered this but even looking from in the truck out the window deflectors with a blue sky back ground it's still brown tint looking.
Could they have really faded that much in 3 years/45k miles?

I assume they are factory because the hood shield had the F150 logo on it, but not sure.

I have never liked the hood shield either but for some reason I liked it on this truck. Maybe because it had a brown tint... lol

 

How the 'H' did it blow off ???? Aren't they sandwiched in between the front grill and the hood? I have an '09 so maybe mine would be diferent. Just curious. I had never heard of one blowing off. I thought they were all attached with screws.

 

^^^ Mine seemed to be "clipped" on to the front of the hood. Not really sure as I only had it about 3 days before it committed suicide on the Hwy at 70mph! lol
Sucks though cause there are now scuff marks on my hood where the deflector was rubbing the hood...

 

I assume it was factory and original on the truck. It had the F150 logo on one end of it...
