For one with the bump is aftermarket branded Ford 50%.higher price with 3yr warranty. I use the Ford one it's great. Also got the fender caps to match. Didn't wanna spend a few K on PPF.
Also got the rocker panel plastic covers as well as the mud flaps.

I have the one with the lights. They are hooked up to my turn signals too. Here is the link:

I had mine installed when I tinted my windows...they said it was pretty straight forward. There is a video on YouTube posted by Blano Bronco.

All the wires are hidden they go under the lip of the hood and then through it. Here is the video:
Hope this helps.

Does it actually help with the bugs on the windshield? And have you noticed any whistling sounds? That was one negative I rrmead about the oem deflector.

Yes it helps with the bugs and I haven't had any whistling sounds, flutters or vibrations with it.

UPDATE: OEM INSTALLED HOOD BUG ROCK DEFLECTOR UPDATE
(Sharing to this thread)
- 3 windshields for the first 38K Miles.
- Installed the OEM hood deflector at 38K Miles
- Now 125K Miles and have not had a crack since.
Some rock dings but nothing fatal.
Drive to extreme locations with high highway miles in between.
I am not sure if it is a magic bullet, but I do firmly believe it disrupts rock and debris airflow enough to deliver a glancing blow, rather than a windshield terminating impact
