Protect your Lexus IS 250 (2013-2015) III generation (XE3) with a Kolchuga® skid plate, made from durable 2 mm steel. This essential protection acts as a shield for your engine, safeguarding critical components from damage caused by road hazards. Designed for both RWD and AWD sedan variants, this skid plate ensures that your vehicle remains in optimal condition, no matter the driving conditions.
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 radiator, gearbox, and engine, providing comprehensive protection against various road hazards. Its construction includes reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings, ensuring optimal airflow and enhanced rigidity. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy maintenance without removing the plate.
This protection effectively shields against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, significantly reducing the risk of damage to vital components. Installation is straightforward, as the skid plate 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.
