sdgarber Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I'd like to know if anyone has installed a Subaru "Hood Protector" on their 2005 Legacy or Outback. If so, did you install it yourself? Do you find this to be a worthwhile accessory, or just a gaudy add on that ruins the look of the car. I welcome your input. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-2.5-GT Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 by hood protector do you mean the clear bras? or the paint protection....personally i think the paint protection things they put on are a waste of money! The clear bras, i don't know i have never used one....i would think there has to be some sort of long term effect on the paint or staying on....

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Ask Jedi, he has o... Hey wait! That's me :lol: I have it and it's awesome- I have some pix of it on the board somewhere. The install is fairly easy, but time consuming, being that the instructions lack words- completely illustrated and the kid that drew the instructions with crayon didn't really make an effort to differentiate between what parts are what. If you get it and want some help putting it on, PM me- I'll give you my cell#. Wouldn't be the first time I walked someone through a mod over the phone :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edvig Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hey Jedi...how much space is there between the Hood Protector and the hood? Can you clean the hood under the protector? Or will the hood be forever dirty under the hood protector? Edvig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Not much space there- if you loosen a few screws it's easy to clean under it. I've had no problems- just ran some soap under there, rinsed it and it was clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt_ltd Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 salesman said the Hood Protector is NOT recommended for my GT as it will somehow block air flow into the hole on the hood... I don't see why he wouldn't want to make more profit outta me. This Space For Rent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edvig Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Thanks Jedi...I'm thinking of putting the Rock Blocker clear bra on my bumper and the hood protector on the hood. I'm only worried that the hood will get filthy under the hood protector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
