Yes. I put the WeatherTech bug sheild on my wife's '09. It's not chrome...it's smoke colored...looks great on the 'tri-sand white platinum' (I think I'm referring to it correctly...it's the metallic white color which cost a bit more). I don't have pics, but could take some if you'd like. The WeatherTech bug shield cost approx. the same as others (~$80 shipped), and fits perfectly. Instructions said it could be installed using only the double sided tape, or also w/ screws (both the tape and screws came w/ it). I used both the tape and screws to better ensure it won't come loose. Again, very happy w/ it....the mounting part of the bug deflector perfectly matched every contour/indent on where it mounted to the underside of the hood. Here's a pic (just took it...dark here now, but I think it will give you a good idea of how it looks): Edited September 13, 2009 by Goldy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyEdge Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I've got the Ford factory version on my Copper 07 SE--www.fordaccessories.com. It was about $75.00 in smoke color. I think it looks great, especially if you've got the dark grey panels on the bottom of the Edge. Also tinted the front windows and added window vents to complete the look.

anglwngss Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Thanks, I've got the Cinnamon colored one. The smoke looks great on your lighter colored one. I'm planning on purchasing the chrome handles.. Hmm wonder if the chrome bug deflector would be too much chrome? Just trying to decide between the chrome and smoke colors.. lol Thanks for the links, I've bookmarked them both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldy Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 yeah, both of you, it would help me greatly decide if it is for me. thanks. ok..it took a couple of days or so, but here are the pics: Again, this is the 'WeatherTech' bug guard...I'm very happy w/ it...definitely a quality piece. Personally, I like the 'smoked' look...never seen what the 'chrome' looks like. If someone has a pic, please share. Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anglwngss Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Definately, Thanks! Now, I just need to find a chrome one pictured! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldy Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Finally, saw a car (actually an F150) w/ a chrome colored bug deflector...Note: this was not metallic, but rather plastic that looked like chrome. I have to say, not my cup of tea...If I would have seen prior to purchasing the smoke colored one, I most definitely would still have chosen the smoke. Just my 2 cents worth.
