I really like the Lund stainless bugshield..... very sturdy & compliment the truck very nicely.

Does the Lund attach the same way the stock piece does?

I put the one from the dealer on mine and it doesnt flutter at all.

I have a stampede and it is nice and stout and strong... . It mounts by being sandwiched between the grill and the hood

Another vot fote the stock one... had one on my 05 and now on 06... . you can order painted for $80 from the dealer..... no issues with them at all...

I got a factory painted black one from the dealer and it is very stout and mounts up easily. I'm not much on dealer accessories but this and the rear fender liners have been great purchases and installations. JM. 02

NLeach,



The factory shield mounts with 4 or 6 pushpin's... ... actually you push the plastic insert in holes by the top of the grill/hood, and then screw in the plastic screw... ... very simple, takes about 15 min. max. I really like the factory shield... . made to fit right... . get it from Geno's !!!!!! Oo.

I had the factory bug shield on my '02 for several years. It did a pretty good job of keeping bugs and rocks off the leading edge of the hood. I finally got tired of it being there and didn't think it complemented my new ARB bumper, so off it came. It never really protected my hood, much less the windshield.

I had a stock deflector on my 03 Hemi with 3m clear tape over the lights. I have a stock one on my 06 CTD and no need for anything over the lights.

I have the Lund Stainless Steel Interceptor on my 2005. I used it without the supplied headlight pieces because I did't like the way those looked, and I thought that the lines on the truck made them unnecessary. Lund supplies large, heavy duty sheet metal screws that tap into existing stock holes under the hood. They work fine, however I decided to use 1/4" x 3/4" stainless cap bolts wit stainless nylocks because I am into functional overkill. I got the cap bolts from a steel supplier. They are like a carriage bolt, with a torx head recess in the center of the head. While they also supply large and small rubber bumpers that you can use to stabilize the shield, I did not install them because the shield is so stiff (it's stainless steel) and sure enough it barely ever slightly flutters a little (<1/16") even at highway speeds and on bumpy roads. I like that, because I didn't have to stick any adhesive on the truck. Also, I recommend pulling the stock Rams head logo off the grill top and then reattaching it to the bugshield if you want; My truck is entirely debadged. except for the ram head on the stainless steel shield, and my friends think it looks great. That all said, I also have seen the chrome/acrylic mopar shield with rams head on some trucks and it also looks good, but I am sure the stainless will be more far durable then the chrome acrylic. It also is taller and has more flare to it than the mopar shield and it does an excellent job deflecting bugs from my windshield, even without the headlight pieces. Wow, that sure is a mouthful about bugshields. Hope it helps.
