Default Bushwacker Hood/Gate Protector

Dont know if anyone is interested in this or not. Thought I would share a close up view.

Where I live you are always getting pummled by rocks. I already have a few chips on the hood. I am pretty impressed on how the grill holds up, even being plastic, seems to just pit it alittle. The finish matches the Bushwacker flat flares exactly.

The hood and tailgate protector apply with 3M tape (same as whats on vent visors).

The best thing about the aero design is that it increases horsepower in the 3.8 by 50%

Love the piece on the tailgate but not the hood so much......Maybe if the hood was bedlined to match.

i like them both. obviously the tailgate protector is the real gem here, but you have to buy them as a set. i'm thinking they'd look great on a blacked out jeep.

how do they hold up? does the tape seem pretty strong? any problems or issues so far?

I wished that the tailgate protector would have wrapped over the top a bit more.

This set was a Christmas gift from the wife and they were backorded, just got em on Tuesday. The tape is not going anywhere. Have you ever tried to get that stuff off once you stick it?

Yes, I like it. I had it on my Christmas wish list. She got me the hood protector a high lift extreme and a 2.5 gal Viair tank.

Has it affected the hood flutter at all. or have you already upgraded the hood latches?

I havent had any hood flutter on my 09 4dr even without the hood protector. My 07 2dr did it all the time. I had the upgraded hood latches on the 07.
