Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Chevrolet Impala (2013-2020) X generation | Kolchuga®
Protect your Chevrolet Impala (2013-2020) with Kolchuga® skid plates, designed to provide exceptional mechanical shielding for critical components. This protection is made from 2 mm steel, ensuring durability against harsh impacts. Think of it as a robust shield for your oil pan and transmission, safeguarding your vehicle from the rigors of the road.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
This skid plate covers the gearbox and engine, providing comprehensive protection against potential damage. Its design includes reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings to ensure optimal engine cooling. Additionally, many models feature service access openings for easy maintenance, allowing for quick oil and filter changes without removing the entire protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates shield against impacts from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, significantly reducing the risk of damage. This protection not only enhances mechanical durability but also contributes to improved aerodynamics, which may positively affect fuel efficiency. 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.
