I purchased the same one. I am extremely happy with it as well, both with how functional it as and the look.I ended up going with the AVS BugDelector II. Install was pretty easy once I employed wife's help, definitely easier with 2 people. I like the height of the deflector and lip, but also the gap between the hood and deflector. I liked the formed look of the WeatherTech but I was too concern with it being too close to paint. I also like the drain slots in the AVS which keeps water from building up between hood and deflector. Price was really good too at $54.
Okay, that settles it for me....going with the Aeroskin 2, since I do not support the overpriced weathertech products anyway. Thanks!
Just to be sure you are getting the one you want:
Hi Alan,Just to be sure you are getting the one you want:
The AVS Aeroskin 2 is a hood protector and will not do much for bugs. It attaches directly to the hood using 3M adhesive tape.
The AVS Bug Deflector II is a bug deflector - like the traditional type - that sits off the hood.
I have the Aeroskin 2 - see picture.
Just hoping to help.
That's why I went with the Bug Deflector II vs the Aeroskin II. I really like the form fit and matte black look of the Aeroskin II, but I did not want to attach the Aeroskin directly to my hood via adhesive tape, I wanted the gap and I did want the lip to help with deflection of bugs and other things. I also believe the Aeroskin II was little more expensive, but that wasn't a huge factor for me. It really comes down to a matter of what you want from your protector/deflector.Just to be sure you are getting the one you want:

Hi Phil.....the protector sits pretty much flush with the hood. There is not a gap large enough to where in any debris or such would get under it. I typically take a micro fiber cloth and go along the edge whenever I clean the vehicle (which is pretty much almost every day!) and that takes care of any dirt that is along the edge that normal washing/cleaning didn't get.

The picture exaggerates the gap - it really is pretty tight and I do not have any issues or complaints.
Yeah, can't wait for louvres to come back.
