    The instructions are very based on older trucks not current.

    This bug deflector was on my truck when I bought it. Oem? Don’t know. But the ends wrap around and attach at this spot under the hood. The middle attach to top of hood with double sided tape.

    The newer model probably works better due to the hood design has a bump to move air flow above the hood. I just like it cuz it’s low profile and has another layer of protection for my hood
