I don't have experience with the black strip that applies with adhesive, but others have reported good luck with it. The larger plastic bug deflector applies with clever bolts that mount on the underside of the hood in two existing holes. Also, as reported below, installing the big shield requires lifting the weatherstrip on the underside of the hood in 2 or 3 places, which is kind of tricky as the plastic connectors can break. I bought the big shield last week but am having second thoughts about permanently installing it. It is much bigger than I imagined, and the smoke color does not look good with a black pearl grill (the smoke color has a slightly reddish tint to it). However, the hood is vulnerable without some protection, so am considering the black adhesive strip or the more expensive clear 'stongard' material. JT
