So, here's the skinny of it. I have bought 2 different hood guards in the last two weeks. One was a Auto Ventshade II. Didn't fit. Center tab matched up to the factory hole in the rubber seal. The other two that were supposed to match two of the outer holes weren't even close.
The second was a Lund Interceptor. The center two holes matched, and again, the outer two weren't even close.
The shape of both was not what it should be. Even if the outer holes were in the right position, I would have to bend the guard to get the holes in position.
The first said it fit 05-07 and the second fit 05-09. Need some help. Want to get one to avoid rock chips and such, but I don't want to keep ordering and returning. What are you guys using?
Hood shield/ bug deflector for 08 PF

The '08+ rigs have a problem...they had a very subtle front end change and I don't think a lot of the aftermarkets picked up on it. I had the same problem trying to get projector headlights. The '08+ is just very slightly different shape as is the hood, grille, etc. I think OEM is about the only option.
