I see them all over.... Most places order a clear deflector in almost any model you choose and paint the back side to match the truck. The difficult part is if you get one that flexes a lot, or rubs the bottom edge of the hood, it causes the paint on the deflector to crack... starts to look bad after a while. I like the Driver Design, or the new Lund (exterminator, I think) that stand away from the hood on brackets and are very rigid. I just don't know if either will work with my new brush guard.... looks too tight of a clearance, so we'll see.

Thanks Willie for the info, if you ever get any pics I would like to see it installed. Also If you have a part # that would be helpful, I dont have a pepboys nearby and their internet site isnt the greatest. Any help would be appreciated.
