Default Starting with the bug shield

Okay, so I'm starting to recover from the holidays. Time to spend some dough on my truck. First thing's first I guess. Don't know what happened to the bug shield that was on my truck. It's there in old pictures then suddenly it isn't and I had absolutely no clue when it disappeared (likely while I was neglecting my truck in favor of my motorcycle).

So where might I find a stock bug shield color matched to the 2003 metallic graphite? The Mopar OEM deflectors on this site only list "mineral gray metallic". Anyone know if that's the right color? Is that the original deflector?

I certainly didn't remove it myself. I would remember. I think.

I guess it's possible a car wash ate it.

Sorry to hijack a little bit here, but do you guys have an issue with your wipers not working as effectively or any other adverse affects with the bugflectors installed? I've had a couple of those things in the past on other vehicles and they took so much air off the windshield, the wipers wouldn't work right.

So, to contribute back to the subject at hand a little bit as well, I'd like to know where to get the color matched ones too if they don't fubar the whole windshield wiper thing.

I know what you are saying bout the wipers, and the answer is NO adverse affects with 3rd gen rams and deflectors
