OK - Travelled 400 miles to the big city yesterday - picked up a silver deflector from the dealer and installed this morning. Easy to install and it looks very very good - can't even tell there's something extra.

I drive back tomorrow - will post if I think I'm getting less bug strikes.

Here is the Inferno Red shield I put on. It keeps alot of crap off the hood and you can barely see it from inside the cab. Good investment IMHO.

It will help, but not get rid of all of them. I think in theory the air is supposed to lift them up over the cab. I'm sure your speed will factor in also.

Difficult to tell unless you have two cars running side by side for a while. However, I have the impression that it does work as the number of large splashes seems to have diminished somewhat over the last month or so.

Default Bugflector II

I got the Bugflector II in smoke from my local Advance autoparts for $59. As easy to install with the plastic screw tab things and looks just like the mopar. Had to order it but came quick, 2nd day.

If your looking for color match or other specifics MOPAR will be the way to go, the aftermarket manufacturers haven't caught up to the '09's yet.

Oh and LUND makes a nice aftermarket shields as well, if they have them out already. http://www.lundinternational.com/
