And by the way, my dad has the mopar chrome one on his austin tan QC, and it actually blends into the grill pretty nicely, since it doesn't go down over the headlights

Not to hijack 09RAM4WD's thread, but I would love to see what that looks like if you don't mind posting a pic or link, and maybe one of the chrome one like your dad has. Thanks.

Chrome one has the same effect on my truck as well. It looks like its part of the grille.

I'm digging up an old thread but is the Mopar "Chrome" bug shield actually chrome or the same stuff as my wheels (i.e. chromed plastic). I'm guessing plastic for $100 +/-.......

On the other hand how hard could it be to get a clear one and paint the inside white (assuming I could match the white)?

You can buy them white from Mopar - no need to match it

Bought the Mopar one online from a Mopar shop painted in Inferno Red. I like it and like the others state, it does blend in with the hood.

If you don't want the Bug Deflector go to an auto body shop and they will apply the clear 3M shield.
