Hood guard ano purpose?

**gonzo** · February 5th, 2009 04:02 AM

I bought a Navara and they have this promos and one of them is free hood guard, yung parang plastic sa harap ng hood na parang bigote ng sasakyan kung titingnan..

For aesthetics lang ba o may purpose ito?

In places where you travel that have a lot of bugs it directs air so less of them hit your windshield and hood when you are going fast. Also prevents rocks from hitting the leading edge of your hood.

Ok so thats the purpose pala

pero sometimes, if your car does have a hood scoop for intercooler, puting a hoodguard sometimes defeat the purpose the intercooler.

gonzo, dapat hindi adheseive type ang hoodguard mo para once i a while matanggal mo yang hoodguard mo at malinisan ang area ng hood na matatakpan nito.

cause sometimes nagiging restricted area ang natatakpan ng hood guard sa paglilinis resulting sa pag build up ng dumi.

agree with redorange, when my kuya took a visit '02 (he's based in US din) sabi niya pakabitan ko ng hood guard? sagot niya

sabi ko para san ba yun? "para di tamaan ng bato sa highway at di dumikit mga kulisap sa windshield" um-OO na lang ako agad kasi siya naman magbabayad hehe.

ser, maigi pa siguro swap mo na lang ng ibang freebies yan kung wala ka talagang balak na gamitin. at least you can get something in return.

Thats my worry din baka magiging trap lang ng mga trash

and besides mostly city driving lang. you might wonder why I get a pick up for city driving because lately panay hukay ng water company sa kalsada sa amin. alam mo na kung ilang taon nila bago tatambakan o ayusin ang hinukay nila

Oo nga naman sir sya naman mag babayad ehh

based on redorange explanation sa mga inter state highway sa US this can be beneficial because you run fast and the re directed wind may deflect nga small gravel.
