Engine, Radiator & Gearbox Skid Plate for Lexus IS 300 (2013-2015) III generation (XE3) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Lexus IS 300 (2013-2015) III generation (XE3) with a robust skid plate crafted from 2 mm steel. This protection acts as a shield for your engine and oil pan, safeguarding vital components from potential damage caused by road hazards. Designed specifically for your vehicle, this skid plate ensures a perfect fit and reliable performance under various 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 critical areas including the engine, radiator, and gearbox. Its design features reinforcing ribs for added durability and ventilation openings that promote optimal airflow. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
This protection effectively guards against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, ensuring your vehicle's underbody remains intact. The installation process is straightforward, as it mounts directly to the factory points with no need for drilling or modifications, reducing the risk of corrosion and enhancing aerodynamics.
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.
