It's been 10 years since I purchased vent visors and I've never purchased a bug shield for a truck so I did my due diligence when shopping for each to say the least. I knew I wanted In-Channel Window Visors but most of the reviews on the AVS brand said they didn't fit the NEW Ram 1500 properly. On the bug shield I knew I wanted one that attached with screws (but didn't want to drill holes). In both instances the products from EGR were home runs!
I was skeptical about the no tape application of the front visors but they fit snugly & not concerned about them coming loose. The rear windows did have tape but they too went right in the channel and seem to be firm.
The bug shield was a bit more confusing as there were a ton of options & I couldn't find many (good) photos of the finished product, but I went the EGR route again after such a great experience with the window visors. Installation of the Superguard Bug Shield wasn't a great experience but now that it's installed it's sturdy as a rock. The issue I had was the clips wouldn't stay in the holes and the ridge on the clip that was supposed to catch on the visor to allow the screw to tighten was tough to keep in place on two of the four holes. After about two hours of wrestling with it (that included a trip to the hardware store to replace a lost screw) my Dad & I got the job done.
Overall I couldn't be more pleased with both items and highly recommend the EGR brand to everyone! One tip, I found both pieces significantly cheaper on Amazon than truck accessory websites. Real Truck had the visors for $106.20 & the Superguard for $90.10. I ended up getting each on Amazon for $64.18 & $66.53 respectively (and you can't beat Prime Shipping!).
Hopefully the before & after photos I've included will help someone decide when choosing the right visor/shield for their truck!

. I didn't want to go the matte black route or chrome. I also didn't want that many clips on the paint (I know there's 3M tape behind it). Surprised the price wasn't higher being Mopar.
