I personally have the actual Ford one, it rins about $125. The fit is good, no flapping, and looks fine -- for a bra.

It does its job. I drive 100km a day, 7 days a week on the QEW, front deflectors don't protect from stone chips and pitting like a bra does. I've seen cars in the parking lot at work with the bumpers pitted to crap.

The "Hell on your finish" is a myth, if you buy a good-fitting one (like the Ford) and if you take care of it -- they're felt backed, so personally I remove it once a month and wash it down and check it for any grit. When I wash the car (I have my own powerwasher), I raise the hood and spray up into the hoodpiece so that it gets all rinsed out.

I've had bras on my Topaz, Taurus and my Focus, with no effect on the finish. I've had the bra on the Taurus since it was a month old -- it's 8 years old now, and if I remove the bra, wash and wax the car, there's only a tiny shade difference from fading.

If you're looking at using it only on long trips, then the other bonus is that it installs with no added snaps, it's all hooks.
