Love your decals, where did you get them? I have the Mabbett hood protecter but still haven't got the lights working as there was no place to plug in as shown by Mabbett.
The black hood decals came installed with the Black Appearance package. Also the black Ford emblem.

I am waiting on the hood bug deflector.

Doesn't look like it deflects any bugs, apart from the ones that were flying less 1/8" higher than the ones hood slammed into before fitting it.
The bugs flying higher than the deflector will not impact the hood. You will only find squished bugs on the grille & on the deflector:)

I have the matte black aeroskin. I like how it looks with the BAP.

That looks great on your truck. Do you have a link to that exact one? I'm seeing some different ones coming up when I search. Also how does it attach to your hood?

I also used my points on this hood protector. While it DOES protect against paint chips, I agree that it does nothing to deflect bugs like earlier "air foil" designs did.
I was thinking about getting one of these more for stone (paint) chips if it helps which you indicate it does. Not sure how I feel about using sticky tape to attach them to the hood though.

I could honestly care less about the “bug deflecting”/ rock it may or may not deflect, I just think it will look good!

. I have the deflector and I do agree; it does look good. But wait until literally every rock and bug hits your windshield instead

Wouldn’t the rock have hit your windshield anyway? Maybe a naked hood deflects the rock down or to the side…after leaving a ding in the paint.

I’m just kidding with you. I have the Husky deflector in garage waiting for a Ford Cowl Decal to arrive. Going to install the decal first then deflector.

Does the Husky deflector sit above the hood instead of being 3M attached? That’s another reason I have some regrets about the deflector I got. Does look good though, with the matching textured/matte finish of the grille
