I know of the Aeroskin 1 and 2 on the Ford pass site, which look nice, but they don't cover the front edges of the fenders. A lot of more traditional bug deflectors for the hood go all the way across, but I can't seem to find anything for the RR that does.

It only actually covers the hood edge itself. I suppose I could use PPF all the way across, but I was looking for something a bit more permanent / meaty for the front hood edge.

Aka something like this (except for the RR): Bug Deflectors & Shields | Husky Liners

Have the whole hood done in PPF, and ideally the fenders, bumper, mirror caps, door handle cups, and fuel door. A good installer and quality film last a long time and does an amazing job while also being basically invisible.

If ONLY I had the extra cash to do a whole PPF wrap...alas I'm just a poor man who barely squeezed out enough in the budget for the truck / gas / regular maintenance.

Unfortunately at this time, its cheap options only. I might be able to swing PPF for just the front (headlights and body areas, not worried about bumper or grille). That seems to be the best option even for limited coverage.

Looks similar to the others, doesn't cover the fenders. I'm thinking limited PPF and maybe the bonnet protector or just all PPF. I actually like the looks of the slim bonnet protectors so I might do a mixture of both.

Then the stone guards for the large square cut out holes in the front of the side steps and I think that's good enough for me. Rear fender already has a nice scratch from my daughter who tried lifting a suite case over the side instead of using the tail gate 10 inches away from where she was standing…the more the marrier right?

I'm mostly interested in preserving the headlights and preventing the front from looking like a salt / peppered dinner plate by the time I hit 50k. Little random chips or small scratches here and there just add to the character :cool:
