Let's see those hood protectors & bug deflectors on your Ranger!

I know there are pics splattered throughout the forum with examples.... if you do a search on key words, you might find them. Thought it would be helpful to have some examples in one place for anyone debating about whether they like the looks of one and which one for their Ranger.

I was pretty sure I wasn't going to put one on my Ranger... that was until a huge FedEX truck (not the kind that deliver to your house) suddenly pulled out across the highway in front of me from a parking lot when I was on my way to work and when he did, he swerved into the berm and kicked back rocks.... one hitting and dinging and scratching the front of my hood. Believe me, I saw the rock fly and I'm surprised it didn't hit my windshield.
I have a call in to PDR to ask if something can be done on an aluminum hood, but probably going to just have to put a hood protector on to hide it. Ticks me off. I'm pretty sure my comprehensive would cover the cost of a repair, but I'm sure it's going to be that they have to paint the whole hood and can't just blend in the paint where they repaired the ding.

So can we see your hood protectors or bug deflectors and please list the brand/model!

Here is mine. Sorry on the brand. Here in the Philippines. But it's a Chinese made high quality, high tech aerodynamically engineered, well crafted piece of plastic of some type. ??

I bought an AVS low profile protector but haven't installed it yet, maybe today. Pics to follow. This was a pain to install, clips are not of good quality and too short in my opinion.

I'm considering the AVS / Ford OEM black textured hood protector. I believe it's a flush mount.

AVS bugflector II.

Like to see one on a white truck. The smoke color would really stand out against the white. In the '90's some one made one that I believe was clear and you could paint it body color on the back side.

I had a clear one on my' 87 F150.

Even leaving it clear was nice because it showed the body color through it...

When I went to my tacoma, I got a smoke colored one and it went nicely with the red paint color...

I think that's the one I'm leaning towards. Is that the one that's the same as OEM black textured one from Ford that made by AVS??
