Bonnet Protectors

At Essential 4x4, we stock a wide range of stylish and durable bonnet protectors made from high quality, UV stabilised acrylic. Our bonnet protectors will reliably guard your vehicle's hood against potential damage from various elements encountered during driving. 

Bonnet protectors successfully and reliably deflect insects, bugs, and other debris away from the windshield and hood, while also creating a barrier that redirects airflow upward. This reduces the likelihood of bugs or debris hitting the hood and causing damage or leaving unsightly marks.

They are also great for shielding your vehicle against stones, rocks, and other road debris that may get kicked up by other cars or encountered during highway driving. The protector helps to minimise the impact force of such objects, preventing potential dents, scratches, or chipped paint on your bonnet.

By redirecting the airflow over the hood, bonnet protectors can also help reduce wind resistance and drag while driving at higher speeds. This has the potential to improve your car’s fuel efficiency and contributes to a quieter driving experience by minimising wind noise and turbulence around the windshield.

Bonnet protectors can also enhance the visual appeal of your vehicle by adding a sporty or rugged look, depending on their design and style. At Essential 4x4, we aim to stock various shapes, colours, and finishes of bonnet protectors for various 4WD makes and models to give you multiple options based on both your needs and personal taste.

It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and maintenance to maximise the effectiveness and longevity of your bonnet protector. Most of the protectors we stock require no drilling and are exceptionally easy to install.
