    i still have this new deflector in the box in my garage. I'd really like to see some close up photos of one that's installed. I have these questions
    1. How does it fit, does it rub the grille shell?
    2. How did the protective strips fit, did they stretch over the seams underneath of do the fit all wonky?
    3. How does the protective strip look on the grille shell, is it noticeable and how much did you overlap it on top?
    4. Did installing the deflector create any noise or howling?

    TIA

    Update: I measured the thickness of the deflector, its .10", I measured the smallest gap in my hood between the hood and the grille shell, it's .15". This is why I'm looking for info and advice.
