Just took some pics for you

 

 

 

Rickmazz, I like the looks of that!  Are you happy with it so far?  Does it have the little round bumpers that keep it from contacting your paint?  I have a '15 HD with a bug guard that has a turned up lip in the top center of it that does a great job directing the wind up and not directly at the windshield.  Really helps to keep the windshield clean by keeping most bugs off it.  I don't think they are able to design the turned up lip into them with the hood scoop.

Hi Cobra

No pads to lift the deflector just the thickness of the 3m tape the goes completely around the the deflector with exception of the 2 outer edges i do not think it can vibrate once installed this is totally flat both sides no raised lips to deflect wind but it will keep this area of you hood from chipping. I do like the look  but to be honest I was working on my truck in the garage with the door open and hood up... door was cycled and scratch and creased the hood just above the lip  dead center 3 days old I just did not want to get it repainted at this point I purchased 2 I may have one painted to match the truck but the flat black is really growing on me and I do like the look...lol

I believe their is a different version also with a lip

Rick, I cannot imagine having that happen to a brand new truck!  Dang, I bet your neighbors ran outside to see who was doing all the yelling and swearing after it got hit.  It sounds like you were able to put it into perspective (after all it is just a truck) and move on.  Either way thanks for the info on the deflector.  Your truck looks great!

I also installed an aeroskin, just like the one in your picture Cobra, that was the smoke model from autoventshade. I have a 21 GMC Sierra 3500. I really like it. It feels very solid and fits perfectly it seems. Install wasn't very hard to install by myself either. Might help having a second person but definitely doable by yourself. I am happy with it.

Hey TO if you get a chance can you throw up a few pics?  I'd like to see it.  You guys are really making me consider getting one when my truck comes in!

Here is a couple pictures of the autoventshade on my '21 3500. Sorry the truck is so dirty. Just got back from camping and haven't washed it yet. 😆

Thanks!  I like it!  Is yours painted to match the truck?  In the pic above it looks like there is a line where the top is blue and the bottom is black.  Maybe it's just a shadow.  Either way it fits great.  Thanks for the pics!

No it isn't paint matched. Tough lighting with the sun at my back. It is the smoke model of the deflector and is black. It's got a little gloss to it and matches my black grill which I like. You would probably be able to tell if the damn truck was clean. 😂

    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
    • I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
