Nice Deflector
Installation simple and no rubbing hood where it really counts. Nice product with good looks and superb fit. Also very good value for the money. This is a smaller deflector in comparison to others as far as height above hood, but its also a more streamlined effect and doesnt look out of place. Appears to be good quality.

Easy
The price and quality of this is very good. It was shipped quickly. Installation was easy. Found the install holes on the bottom of the hood then used some painters tape to hold it in place. No holes to drill at all. Also others have said that the little clear rubber bumpers are not needed are correct, there's a whole lot of space between the hood and deflector. I also did not remove the rubber strip under the hood and it opens and closes just fine. Also the box it arrived in was ripped open and then taped back together. There were a few scuffs on the front of the deflector but I used Mass polish and took them right out. Easy install, good product and looks good.

Quick install, perfect fit and solidly made...
Perfect fit and alignment. Fast install. I left the rubber gasket in place on the hood on my 2019 RAM Crew and no issues with hood closing or rubbing while,closed. The gap between deflector and hood is quite ample and I don’t think the 4 protective silicone bumpers will be really needed. I still installed them just to be safe as here in VT we can have a heavy and icy snow load on a vehicle.At least for my 2019, 2 included snap-in connectors were too small in width for the larger holes in my 2019 and a quick visit to my local auto supply store resolved the issue by buying a larger width version of the same length.I have used this brand of bug deflectors on my last 3 vehicles and the only issue is that they tend to dull and loose the shine over a few years from UV/sun exposure. (Armor-all helps restore some of the sheen). I also spray wax annually to keep bugs and tree sap from sticking. It also helps with frozen ice and snow sticking in the winter.

Thoughts
This thing is in a giant box. With only shrink wrap... no other type of protection. The first one I orded was undeliverable because it was badly damaged. I orded another and it got here with a few holes in the box, and one corner of the deflector sticking out, but it luckily wasn't broken. I installed it by myself, which is possible but it would be easier with an extra set of hands to hold it in place while you hold the small metal spacer in place and screw it all together because the spacer does not stay in the hole until you get the screw in. Other than that, it looks nice and gives an aggressive look to the front end of my truck... and with the grille I painted matte black. I left the Ram logo chrome, and with a silver truck, the bug deflector really sets it off. I cant see it when I'm sitting in the drivers seat normally, but it sticks up pretty far. I live in alaska where our roads are terrible, gravel is everywhere, and I have several rock chips in on my hood and fenders. I'm hoping this will prevent that and maybe even chips on my windshield. Product seems durable, and I think it will greatly help.

Easy to install, work's? NO
Arrived on time. Quick glance at the directions. Went out to the truck opened the hood to see the holes. Held the bug shield up and holes were perfect. Cleaned the hood and put the first screw in. Did the two outside ones first. Couple of minutes. Put the middle two in and almost done. Has little rubber pieces that keep the plastic from hitting the paint. Put those on and the job was complete in under five minutes. Two interior screw seem kind of cheap to me. I will add to this review if they do not hold. Bug shield does not look like it will push the bugs over wind shield. I will again review update. Has good reviews so it probably works. I have a couple of long trips so I will decide quick enough.UPDATE of this product. I drove a thousand miles this past week. I am convinced that only one bug managed to miss my windshield. I bought this to help keep my windshield clean. I read the reviews and decided to buy this one. Obviously the people who rated this high, were only interested in what it would look like on the truck. If you are like me and want a shield to actually do a job, this is not the one you want. The company should not be allowed to use the word bug in the name. Going to try and return but since I have used it, I am sure it is going in the trash.
