All these bug shields look the same. What are the differences? Bug shields must protect better than bras, too ...right?<br>It looks like the hood can open with these installed...is that correct? thanks.

The hood opens exactly the same. The bug/stone shields are very similiar. They all are installed without having to drill and basically snap into place. Some custom fit a little better and some come with support bumpers. I have the Ford one installed and it has the bumpers. Dennis and Lance have the Lund shield installed without the bumpers.<br><br>Both are good. If the bumpers bother you get the Lund.<br><br>I'm very happy with my Ford bug/stone shield. Lots of pictures of it in the photo section.<br><br>Gary

Gary, have you been able to tell if the bug shield helps keeping bugs off the windshield? On some of the vehicles I have had in the past bug shields did not do a good job. We have an invasion of love bugs here in Florida twice a year that really mess up the windshields and it would be nice to have some help.<br><br>David

Unfortunately I can't. I got my Escape late September and it is still winter here. (although no snow), so there has been a limited number of bugs to test it against.<br><br>I do not have any stone chips on my hood. I can't prove that the shield has helped in preventing it, but I believe that it has.<br><br>I will let you know about the bugs in about two months. (Hopefully)<br><br>Gary
