Protect your Lexus RX 330 (2003-2006) II generation (XU30) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, made from high-quality 2 mm steel. This robust protection acts as a shield for your oil pan and transmission, ensuring that critical components remain safe from mechanical damage caused by impacts from below. Designed specifically for the Lexus RX 330, this skid plate provides essential defense against the hazards 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 offers comprehensive coverage for the engine and gearbox, protecting these essential components from potential damage. Its construction features reinforced ribs for added durability and ventilation openings to maintain optimal cooling. The design also includes service access openings, allowing for quick oil and filter changes without the need to remove the protection.
The Kolchuga® skid plate effectively shields against impacts from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. It provides mechanical protection that reduces the risk of costly repairs due to undercarriage damage while enhancing aerodynamics for improved fuel efficiency. Installation is straightforward, as the skid plate mounts directly to factory points with no drilling required.
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.
