A material often used in automotive customization, this product provides a barrier, typically constructed from interwoven strands forming a grid-like structure, and finished in a dark color. For example, it can be installed in the forward-facing apertures of a vehicle to protect the radiator and engine components from road debris.
The employment of this protective covering yields several advantages. It offers a degree of safeguarding against stones, insects, and other foreign objects that could otherwise damage critical cooling system elements. Furthermore, its aesthetic properties can contribute to a vehicle’s overall visual appeal, lending a more aggressive or customized appearance. Its use has become increasingly prevalent since the rise of aftermarket automotive modification.
