Not to be the part pooper here but.. Had mine for about a month before it broke! 
Black didn't match the black of the fenders/bumpers (which really annoyed me). And didn't really even notice a big difference with this on. Could just be me but.. Not a fan of these, at least on a Jeep!

I have one, and it does help. If I lived in town, I might not want one. I drive country roads at night a lot, and it really helps compared to not having one. I think they look good also, but others may not. I don't care since they are not cleaning my window.

Time for the next MOD... Keep them coming...
Love mine
One thing I did though so it doesn't stand out is to buy a clear gurad and then I painted the backside to match the Jeep. After 5 years it still looks new.
As far as does it work, yes it helps. I've flown through swarms and watch most of them get pushed right up and over. Sure some still hit, but it's less than it could be.

They can hate them all they want. During cicada season it saved me from cleaning my windshield every 5 miles. I still had to clean it every 10, but I made it twice as far.

They do look nice on the JK. Only thing stopping me and maybe some of you can answer this for me, does it not collect a ton of dirt underneath? Or salt with winter???

i always wondered what these did and if they worked well, i would also be nervous about trapping dirt and dust and scratching the paint underneath like a bra would
