This protective cover is easy to install on both Suzuki Samurai and Suzuki SJ models of any production year and prevents the hood air intake that supplies the cabin ventilation system from becoming clogged with leaves, twigs, and mud.
The trapezoidal shape allows the hood to be opened without any interference. The kit also includes black anodized aluminum rivets for installation.
This air intake protection was originally designed to protect the Samurai cabin air intake, but it can be installed on any vehicle as a hood air intake guard.
The hood air intake guard is made of C45 carbon steel, zinc-plated for corrosion protection and powder-coated in matte black metallic finish. The mesh used in our hood air intakes is made of black anodized aluminum.
Although commonly referred to as a hood air intake, it is installed above the cabin air intake, on the bulkhead in front of the hood, directly below the windshield.
