$109 for chrome or painted. $86.10 for smoked. There are 4 plastic anchors you push into existing holes on the underside of the hood. Then the screws go through the deflector and into the anchors. You can pick one up at any dealer. http://www.mopar-accessories.com/en-...ubGroupId=3094

OK - so they got them in both chrome and stone white which is the color of my truck. Thoughts as to what would look better?

I thougt you had a black truck, obviously I did not pay attention.

My truck has the bright grill and chrome door handles. I Like chrome and it blended in with the grill so it looked right to me.

Whatever looks best to YOU is what you should get.

I would say either white or chrome will look nice with the bright grill.
For a painted grill I think the painted deflector would look best.

Thats just me. Its your truck.

There are two ways to look at it. First is what looks best to you. Second, is whether you want it to "stick out". Body color blends in with the hood. Chrome will be more noticeable. It's totally up to you. I prefer body color but that's me.

The one on the Dodge site said it was $109. I sent a request for price to my local dealer. I looked under the hood and saw the four holes there designed for the deflector. I'll post once I get the real price. The web site (link in a post above) tells what colors are available, etc.

I'm still torn between chrome and stone white -- since that's the color of my truck. I think I'm leaning chrome since it will right on top of the grill.
