Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Acura RDX (2019-) III generation (TC1\2) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Acura RDX (2019-) III generation (TC1\2) with Kolchuga® skid plates, expertly crafted from 2 mm thick steel. This protection acts as a robust shield for your engine and gearbox, ensuring that critical components remain safe from mechanical damage. Designed specifically for your vehicle, this skid plate provides essential defense against road hazards while enhancing your vehicle's longevity.
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 engine and gearbox, providing comprehensive protection against impacts from rocks, ice, and road debris. Its construction features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and ventilation openings that ensure optimal airflow for cooling. Additionally, many models include service access openings for easy maintenance, allowing for quick oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates safeguard your vehicle from a variety of road hazards, including rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. This protection not only prevents mechanical damage but also reduces the risk of corrosion by keeping dirt and moisture away from critical components. Installation is straightforward, as it mounts directly to the 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.
