| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |

Kolchuga® skid plates effectively guard against damage from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps. This mechanical protection not only reduces the risk of costly repairs but also improves aerodynamics and overall vehicle performance. Installation is straightforward, as it mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or 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.
