It was an option to add PPF (paint protection film) for the hood and fenders that has since disappeared from the online order forms. There was speculation on if it even covered the entire hood or just a portion of the fron of the hood.

If you are not familiar with PPF here is a Wikipedia article that descrobes pretty well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_protection_film

It only covers a about 5-6 inches of the front and has a noticeable edge and gap from the limits of the panels. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...er-the-protective-film-option.1718/post-33496

That's a really cool idea!

I am wanting to use a deflector as well but have had zero luck finding one for the Mav.

I think I’ve searched all the normal locations on the net. Nada!

Did you check Ford Accessories? I seem to recall that there's a low profile deflector for the Maverick. Also someone on the forum posted a picture of their Maverick with one installed.

I did check. It doesn’t show up any longer.

Thanks

Only bought two Ford products upon ordering: hood and window air deflectors. I do 50 miles of commute at 80 mph on the same freeway as a bunch of other commuters and delivery trucks kicking up rocks and debris, so the goal was to avoid some of those rocks and car parts from bouncing up to my hood and windshield. I like the way they break up the color as well.

I thought that hood deflector would look clunky but it is a great look in the fx4. Think I will pick it up for my cactus after all.

Loving the a51 as well!

Thanks! No, just varies description entries. Where did you find a part number?

A word of caution - as I was reading through this forum about a pronounced hood shake, I found a post where Ford acknowledged that the hood air deflector may be a contributing factor. I'd be curious if someone with NO hood shake added a hood deflector and then started to experience hood shake, or vice versa.

I think that solar panel thing sounds awesome.
