Default Warrior or rugged ridge cowl armor

Like all of us have, the dreaded dimple from the mirror hitting the cowl. I have done this multiple times due to stupid errors.
So now it's time to take the extra step and put something there to save me.
I like both and drilling doesn't bother me. So anyone with either one please post. Thanks

I have the rugged ridge ones & so far am happy with them, but I have only had them for about 6 months so I can't say much about how they will hold up to sun exposure.

Here's my warrior ones. Love them. They are 1/8 inch aluminum. They do need some rivets drilled into body though so be very careful if you get them cause the rivet gun wants to kick off after you break the nail and can scratch the rest of the paint.

Thanks. Those look great. My fear is the rugged ridge ones will pop of since they are stick on, or stick out and look weird.

Me personally wouldnt trust the stickon ones either. That's a serious bend on the outer cowl. If you get the diamond plate you may have to bend and work it a little for it to contour to the jeep. I called warrior and they said that's normal because the diamond plate doesn't bend in the factory like smooth metal. No biggy though. I added the inner cowl too to complete the look

I had a ball or something a person threw at me while driving on the highway, it hit right between the wiper and hood hinge. I've never seen the product that goes across. I just thought they had the cowl. How much are these. I may jump on it.

I have the rugged ridge plastic stick ons. Pretty thick plastic that wont dent like the soft metal, no
drilling required and look cool.
