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.
My truck is brilliant black pearl so I ordered the brilliant black pearl mopar deflector, it matches the all black theme, have black raptor sidesteps as well, see pics in my gallery if you would like.

My truck is Silver and I installed a smoked shield. Cant decide if it resembles a man or Italian woman with the new mustache, but I still like it. I am also thinking of blacking out the headlights to match. Since my truck is a TRX4, there isn't any chrome, so it fits well.

I went with the MOPAR unit primarily due to our aluminum hood and soft leading edge. after only 8,000 miles I already had a few rock chips/dents in the front.

I purchased a MOPAR bug shield today and put it on--but not sure I am going to leave it. I went with mineral gray metalic to match my painted bumper (TRX4) and it looks fine. My problem is that it is really close to the hood and one of those or two of those cheap screws into the plastic didn't tighten up (yeah--maybe I over tightened--but the two center ones are fine--maybe I can just order some more mounting inserts--but sure would be surprised if I can). Sure is awful close to the hood--used to the old type that was farther away. Oh, well-will sleep on it and decide on how it does at 70 or so on interstate.

I have the MOPAR bug shield installed - Inferno Red, same as the truck. Most people do not know its there. Does keep the front end of the hood clean and also does help with the windshield. I take it through the car wash every week with no problems.

How about all the wind noise you now get, I made the mistake of installing one of these some years back, never again...
