I removed the little air deflectors from the front. No noticeable decrease in mpg.

I think it looks cleaner.

That looks great! I saw another pic on here somewhere of the same mod but couldn't find it again. I think I'm going to take mine off too.

Are the stock tire inflator stems that bad?
I don’t know if they are that bad. All I can say is I can sleep better at night knowing these exist.

This was a couple of days ago but I guess I never posted about it...

Washed and "sealed" (if that's the correct term) the BS. Here it is today, still looking pretty good I think.

I also put on a molle bag (came in a pack of molle stuff from Amazon). I'm guessing it's not really quick remove/replace. There's nothing really too important in there, just things I had thrown around in my glove box or center console.

Used Dakman’s hood shake mitigation solution yesterday (¼ inch diameter flexible plastic gas line inserted into hood gaskets) and it significantly reduced vibration and hood shake. 6’ is exactly the right length.

To give credit where it is due, I got this info from member Canuck in the thread titled " Hood Vibration Flapping Bouncing".

Having to reinforce the rubber insulation on a few of these replies leads me to think the rubber bumper stops are not adjusted properly. One response here mentioned this.

My 2023 has the front bug deflector, and did not before or after this install have the vibration/flapping/bouncing hood syndrome; not at any speed (legal speed limits).

I don't think I have the flapping hood issue either. I was on the road doing 75 mph for over an hour and never noticed anything.

I wonder if there where so many complaints that Ford did some assembly line corrections to the hood install/adjustment?
