2012 Limited Bugflector II doesn't fit Eco/ Please help

[murdog19]

Hello, I am new to any kind of forum so please bare with me. I just recently purchased a 2012 Explorer Limited Ecoboost. On Amazon I ordered an AVS Bugflector II Hood Shield (part# 25164). In searching on line this is the only one I saw for 2011 or newer. Upon receiving it, it is clearly the wrong size and the holes don't line up. It appears to extend outside the front contour of the vehicle, however I have seen reviews where people are complimentary of the fit.
I thought I may have read somewhere that since the Ecoboost has a 4 cylinder and turbocharger, that the front contour is slightly different than other models to allow additional airflow to the turbocharger. Does anyone know if this is true and what should I do to get a nice bug guard that actually fits? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

...but 3M 'Clear Bra' is MUCH better, and better looking...you don't see it!

Jetz - do you have the 3M Invisible Shield? If so can you take some pics?

Thanks!

The hoods are the same across all the models. No difference with different engine types.

Here you go. can you see it? It's called 'Venture Shield'.

Looks great Frank! Now I'll be looking into one...

Frank - What size did you get? The max coverage, the 6" less or 12" less coverage set? Not sure I want something that goes almost 2' up onto the hood...

Thanks in advance!

My truck is in storage right now, I have to go look, but I think it was at least 12'' ( I always say that). By my pic it does look like that.

I got the whole car done, not just the hood.
