"Chrome" bug deflector

Hey guys, trying to find a source for the Mopar chrome finish bug deflector for my rig. Any ideas other than Geno's? I found it on Dodgeparts.com for $75 but that site is having probs, can't get the pages to open from main page. Anywhere else? TIA-Steve

SUMMIT RACING IS THE COUNTRIES LARGEST MOPAR PARTS DEALER. I GOT A STAINLESS STEEL BUG DEFLECTOR [ALL TREE PARTS] FROM THERE.

No Drilling or anything required.....all you do is use the plastic push type rivets to hold it on! 5 If I remember

Mine came with the chrome bug deflector and the only thing I don't like is that it doesn't turn up in the rear. So it really doesn't help much at all. I tried to pull my plastic rivets out so I could reposition it a little more straight up but I couldn't seem to get them out without feeling like I was about to break something. They should just call it a chrome grill-top cover because it doesn't deflect many bugs!

I looks pretty good though..

I bought a smoke colored deflector and installed it behind the chrome one, the smoke one actually works.

My sons truck has all three stainless pieces. One word of caution, some of the edges are not dressed properly and can be like a razor. Check them good before someone gets cut.

I sure that with a drill, some duct tape and some liquid nails you could make it work.
