Has everyone that installed the Mopar bug shield happy with it still? I bought the flat black one because that's the only color I want but I really don't like the idea of how the clips go over the top of the hood. Seems like it could cause damage over time which would not leave you with the option to ever take it off. Also are the spacers that you mount to the hood to prevent the shield from touching really needed? I never had a bug shield that would touch the hood before.
This is why I have a brand new never installed Mopar shield in my garage, didn't want anything to do with the clips. I put on a weathertech, It is smoke but blends perfectly with the granite night edition.

Installed Mopar chrome hood deflector today on a Maximum Steel Metallic truck today. Pretty happy with the results - makes the grille look taller. 6EE5E72B-9B82-4DBC-9AE1-A90F148D767D.jpeg

I have the matte black version. Happy with the look, but the mounting hardware (IMO) is not that great. Most of the screws backed out over time and I actually lost one by the time I realized it. They could probably be improved with a lock washer and nut on the back side. Also, the last clip on the driver's side has never wanted to stay attached to the truck. I have to reseat it almost every other day.
Ultimately I will likely remove it along with the window air deflectors (those have their own issues).

Does anyone know where I can get the hardware kit for this? I can’t seem to find. I have a matte black one from my 2019 and want to put on my 2021.
Thanks In advance.

Just completed my second mod to my truck since getting it last Wednesday. Chrome Bug Deflector(OEM) and I gotta say it pops with the grill and Delmonico Red! Took just about an hour. Loving this truck life! Truck Gang!

Installed mine over the weekend. I wasn't sure how it would look but I like it. And it will help protect my hood from rock chips this winter. I always seem to get the worst chips in the leading edge of the hood on my previous trucks. I can see the screws if I look closely, but they blend in pretty well with the black.

Anyone know where I can get replacement rubber bumper things that come with the Mopar bug shield? I have knocked off a couple of these while washing and cant find a replacement.
