All I see there is "Stone White". Is "Stone White" close enough to "Bright White"? Same color, new name? Sometimes its more difficult to match white than it is other colors. I may end up with the plasti-chrome anyway but color matched is an interesting idea.

Same here, I have the chrome one and it looks like an extension of the grille. Bugshield's IMO are worth the money. My wives Jeep Commander used to get stones on the windshield all the time, we have had to repair the windsheild twice. Since we installed the Bugshield we haven't had one stone hit the windsheild. As for the Truck I put it on right away but I do like the idea that the front of the hood is protected rom stones. Here in VA we seem to have a lot of stones on the road.

I have the MOPAR bug shield - same color as my truck. Hardly noticeable, but it does do the job. Saves the front of the hood from chips and the windshield from most bugs.

IMHO, the bugshields are UGLY, go with the tape if you are concerned with the chips on the hood.

Please take it easy on me

I would go with a chrome deflector. Looks a lil sharper imo.

I took the easy way out. The dealer looked up my VIN to see about color matching and the VIN said my truck was "Stone White". He then looked at the Window Sticker where it said "Bright White Clearcoat". Once I realized Dodge had no idea I said "Give me the chrome"....

Oh, if anyone finds that huge washer I dropped would you return it?

Some pics in my Photo Gallery.....Make that one pic. There's a 1 MB TOTAL limit for pics?
