or whatever they're called. 

..I mean that strip that prevents debris from hitting the hood..? (i'm not 
really sure WHAT they are). .

I see them on 20% if all trucks/suvs/vans around here.  
I never see these on cars, even though the trucks/suv's  that have 
them do the same kind of  normal driving (not offroad, or in a "rocky" area).
Is it something about trucks being higher up that makes them more useful?
(doubt it).
