The AVS Deflector II isn't bad, the only real issue was the two center mounting holes don't line up quite right when the outer holes do. I simply re-drilled the two holes where they'd line up, and it then fits fine. - For what its worth, the original EGR and Lund clip on deflectors had the exact same alignment issues, as I think they may have used the same pattern. EGR may have since updated their deflector to align better.

My biggest concern when it arrived was the box had been folded, and was sure the deflector was going to be broken, which thankfully wasn't the case last year. Mine's been installed for maybe 8-9 months without an issues, and still looks great on the front of the truck. I went with the ABS back then as I wanted some protection for leading edge of the fenders, which the tape/glue on units do not provide. - And thankfully, no hood flutter when installed.

I bought mine from Real Truck using a discount code at the time, making it one of the less expensive than the Ford tape on unit, and it was high-rise, whereas the Ford unit isn't. (The Ford matt, which had the raised center area was no longer available at the time, and not sure that changed). No quarrels on my end with Real Truck, they shipped it promptly.

Ditto , except mine has been mounted for about 18 months .

I ordered an AVS Bugflector II for my Ford Maverick from RealTruck on Jan 24th '24. The site said it was in stock when I purchased it. I called on Jan 29th '24 to ask when it would ship. The customer service representative said something like 8 business days.

Then Feb 6th '24 I got an email from them saying it was placed on a national back order. I cancelled the order much to my dismay. Glad I did because it looks like they still don't have them. I'm thinking they might be reworking the design.
