Directions horrible mostly in Spanish

Product came in with a scratch, 1 of the plastic screws were beoken to attach the bug gaurd, i have a shop we had 1 instock. Goodluck finding 1 very specific size. Directions horrible mostly in Spanish. Shipping came quick. Product is very good quality. Price was fair. Also had to widen the holes to attach beacuse they didnt line up. 😔

Pros
  • You just on my 2010 Expedition fit perfect cover up hole in Hood
Cons
  • Can be expensive when compared to other hood shields on the market

May come off for my opinion

looks great. very good being it actually covered some imperfections from paint chips. The downside is 2 weekends ago I was on a drive and I heard a buzzing sound. I was afraid is was my air-ride motor was messing up because it wouldn't stop. when I pulled over to investigate I saw my car was level and the motor wasn't running. I started driving again and I realized it started once I hit a certain speed and got louder as i went faster. I got out and figured something was loose and it happened to

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • May not be suitable for off-road or heavy-duty applications

Nice accent for the front of my truck

Bought this strictly for cosmetics. Trying to distinguish a bit from every other Expedition on the road. I like the look a lot. A little tricky when trying to wax the hood but not terrible. Easy to install. Easy to clean. Good solid product. No complaints.

Pros
  • Great fit simple install and no drilling.
Cons
  • The shield's bulkiness can make it difficult to store or transport

Can’t install in my review

It would have looked good on the vehicle if I could have installed it. It mounts with basically a wall anchor. A plastic piece that you put in the hole that expands as you tighten the screw. The screw head was to small it would go right threw the hole in the deflector. It did not come with washers but I had some so I tried that. The washers kept the head of the screw from fitting through the hole in the deflector unfortunately the plastic anchor is also to small. With the screw tightened all…

Pros
  • Looks and fits great - what else can you ask for?
Cons
  • The chrome finish may require frequent polishing to maintain its shine and luster

Looks Great! good for me

Helps to reduce rock chips on the hood which will help stop/slow down the aluminum corrosion. if corrosion does return it will help hide it, Awesome. easy to install. Thanks AVS! -David.

Pros
  • Exact fit on my 2011 XLT Expedition. Took 10 minutes to install.
Cons
  • The high-profile design may create drag and turbulence at higher speeds

Poor quality fasteners

The fasteners that they include aren’t worth a whole lot. Also the holes didn’t lineup very well. Otherwise it looks great once installed!

Pros
  • perfect great thanks
Cons
  • Can create additional weight on the front of your vehicle, affecting handling and performance

Good quality. What I expected.

The box was damaged, but the contents were fine. The deflector was shrink wrapped and the hardware was inside loose. I think having this bagged would be better. One of the attachment tabs was warped, so it was difficult getting the holes to lineup.Overall installation took about 40 minutes because of this. Normally, it seems like it could be done in 15 minutes.Once complete, it gives a nice appearance and seems sturdy. I bought it to hide some chipping paint on the edge of the hood (something…

Pros
  • Love it no dislike
Cons
  • May not provide adequate protection against larger debris or wildlife

Fits the 2017 Expedition EL

Easy to install and it will be interesting to see how long it stays secure. Fasteners were not of high quality. Looks great though and better than the Weathertech as far as looks!

Pros
  • Hides all the chips on the hood
Cons
  • The shield may cause chipping or damage to the paint finish on your hood if not installed properly

This don't fit a 2006 ford expedition

This does not fit a expedition 2006 Very well you have to make your own holes the holes would they put inFrom the factory are in the wrong spot for a 2006

Pros
  • Proudly made in the USA and backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty
Cons
  • Can create potential blind spots in the driver's field of view

My 2007 Expedition EL has the dreaded paint loss on the edge of the hood and the rear gate. This bolt-on hoodflector covers all that lost paint on the hood. If this would have been on there earlier in the truck's life, maybe the paint would have stayed? Anyways, it comes with 4 plastic fasteners that you push in and then thread in with a screwdriver. I questioned how well they would work when I pulled it out of the box, but they hold it on there very well. It doesn't budge at all. I like how it

Pros
  • Effectively protects hood, windshield and fenders from rocks and road debris
Cons
  • The high-profile design can create additional stress on your windshield wipers and blades, reducing their effectiveness

Looks great! in my review

I ordered this product, and was very happy with the appearance, until I noticed bubbles in the chrome overlay on the right side. Of course, I only noticed AFTER we already put it on! I sent an email describing the defect, and my disappointment that it was not noticed, and should not have been sold. I also offered to email photos as well. I then received an email reply within two hours offering their apologies, and stating a replacement would be shipped the next day, and I would receive notice…

Pros
  • Install under ten minutes. Made my truck look even better.
Cons
  • The shield's chrome finish may fade or discolor over time, especially in harsh weather conditions

Looks Sharp best in my review

I have had it for about 6 months now. It went on pretty easily but was a little bit of a pain to get aligned. With two people it is very easy. By myself it was hard to get one aligned and the bolt holes to align due to the length of the my hood (Ford Expedition). The small logo fell off but I honestly thought it was ugly anyway. Just clean off the glue with a little goo gone and it's a better looking product. After going through a wash just wipe with a rag and the water spots come right off. It

Pros
  • ‎4 pounds
Cons
  • May interfere with the functioning of your hood release latch and other components

Fits like a really good glove!

Looks great. Easy to install. Only negative is that the sticker on the back of the shield took longer to remove than the installation. I recommend putting the stickers on the removable plastic protector.

Pros
  • I love the AVS hood deflectors, easy to install, strong and look great.
Cons
  • The shield may crack or break under impact, requiring replacement

Sharp cutting front edge, draws blood!

Super fast shipping, product looks great, adheres great, but….The front edge of this aeroskin has an edge so sharp that it cuts you.

Pros
  • Trajo los aditamentos para instalar facil y rapido.
Cons
  • Can create blind spots while driving, especially in adverse weather conditions
