Any AB owners out there with the Lund Aeroskin installed? Want to see how it looks.

I've got almost 5k miles on my Mav already and collected a few paint chips on the front edge of the hood. The chips were all picked up on the hwy's from semi or dump trucks kicking up rocks. Also picked up some Alto Blue touch-up paint from the local dealership to fill them in. I have decided to hold off on installing the Hood protector at this time, but wanted to show members what the color contrast looks like on the alto blue. The protector itself is not the best quality in my opinion.

Ya I bought it a while ago and haven't installed it yet. Im also disappointed with the quality of it, but I drive 120+ miles a day so I need to bite the bullet and install it just for the protection it provides

Received the black platinum tailgate letters. They came in a box, in a plastic bag. The letters have the red tape on the sticky side and the fronts where protected with white plastic. On every letter there was red tape rubbed off from the etching process or something else, but the letter K was the worst. I'm waiting for warmer weather to put them on. I think they'll look good on the Alto Blue.

here is the problem with tape on deflectors. If a rock hits the deflector with any force, the tape isn't enough of a cushion to prevent the hood from getting dented. I had that happen on my pickup once before when they first started coming out with the tape on plastic. I had a good deflector on my Escape and never had the problem, even when the rock had enough velocity on it to break the edge off the deflector. That is why I won't have the tape on plastic stuff. They don't protect the metal from dents, which is what I want it for, in the first place. Any plastic crap will protect from bugs but the metal gets dented and you don't see it until the deflector is taken off and it takes any of the paint around the dent with it.
