It wasn't on it, I was a little peeved at first but after I got the SUPERDUTY letters on I was glad the AVS was not on it
AVS Bug Shield

Does anyone have feedback on the functionality of the bug deflector? I've had versions of these over the years but I'm curious if this one actually works
I have a 600 mile road trip on the 10th. I will report back. One thing for sure is that it will protect from rock chips on the leading edge of the hood. I made a 300 mile road trip to pick up my bumpers before installing the guard. I ended up with several rock chips in the paint. One upside, the bug guard covered them.
I just realized the Ford Branded bug guard is made by Lund not AVS. So I am running the Lund.

I got the AVS areo skin and I love it and yes it obviously covers up the super duty on the hood but super duty is raised letter on the bud shield .
For me it’s more about rocks hitting the windshield and hood. And yes they help a bit, and so does ceramic rain-x on the windshield for bugs.
Just did 600 miles with the Ford/Lund bug shield. Have to say, it does a better job of protecting the paint on the leading edge of the hood than it does keeping bugs off of the windshield. The top bar on the bumper may have affected the function of the bug guard.

That’s a big ass bumper/grille guard!
I like it a lot!
Aluminum? Where did you get it?

Trailready full guard. Steel. It's a beast, but needed for the kamikaze deer in our area.
Can you share how you got the lettering to layout so well? Did you make a template or something?
Also, I am reading some reviews on this specific shield that there are reports of it causing the hood to shake and also messes with how rain hits the windshield. Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated (along with any tips @Dino on how you got it to lay out so nice). What was the color selected on those letters, are they gloss or flat in color? I think I would like something subtle as far as the letter color.
I have a Carbonite Grey 250 I just bought and I think this combo of this shield/guard and those letters would be killer.
Thanks in advance from a new forum and 250 owner (not a Tremor owner but the suggestions are awesome all the same).

The hood shakes because its aluminum, my Ram Power Wagon did the same thing, I found the center of the Hood protector laid out the SUPER DUTY the way I wanted it measured it length then from center of hood went half way each way from center for starting and ending point for SUPER DUTY and used the hood line for my leveling at the bottom. The color of the decal is Matt Black or flat

I have had them on my last two trucks, I am a believer.. and I would have been the biggest nay-sayer before buying one.
They work great for both bugs and small stones. just finished 18hr on the highway with very little squashed bugs on the window.

Just got my Aeroskin installed and letters installed also. Was definitely inspired by yours! Went about the letters in a bit of a different way. I recreated them in CAD and 3D printed my own discussed here. I then figured out how high I wanted them to sit and spacing then created a simple curved level/spacer that made the install much easier. Everything came out nice and level with consistent spacing.

Still haven't installed mine. Once I got it here I wasn't so sure I liked the look haha. It's lying in the garage for now until I make up my mind on whether or not to install it.
