Designed to withstand impacts from rocks, ice, and curbs, this skid plate provides essential mechanical protection to your vehicle's vital components. The ease of installation is a notable advantage, as it mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or additional modifications.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
