Has anyone installed the AVS Aeroskin Hood shield on thier rig? It looks low profile and clean but not sure I want to use that 3M tape on the hood. Upside no drilling into your hood.

I’ve had mine installed right on top of the clear bra, no problems with the 3m tape. Been that way for about 2 and a half years, and over 75,000 miles

It looks good on your trucks! Mine arrived today. 

Thanks for the input on this sir's!

Yep, been driving it 300 to 400 miles a week for the last 3 years so I figured I’d double up the protection. Especially with the rocks on the colorado roads in the winter

Nothing better than a nice rock chip to round out the first 1000k miles. One rock two nice chips. Anyone able to get the embedded paint out of the shield? The little logo thing came off easy but underneath is like an engraving with paint.  Wouldn't care too much but its uneven and looks like bad.

Pretty sure you'd have to sand it down and repaint it.

I love mine. It’s virtually invisible on my black truck. 

Did you go with the smoke or black painted one?

I love mine! Got the AVS Aeroskin colormatch. Easy install and you can barely notice it.

ya I was wanting one but they don't offer the metallic blue yet for my 18 :(   I emailed them a few weeks back and was told they don't know if or when they will offer it.  so I guess id have to with the dark tinted generic one they've had forever

I put a summit white color match one on my truck and I love it!

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
