- Protects the components within your engine compartment
- Can become damaged in car incidents
- Provides easy access to performance parts for repairs and maintenance
A Hood Panel is the large sheet of metal or steel that shields your vehicle's engine compartment. This vital component helps to protect many of the key car parts that keep your Nissan functioning properly.
Without a Hood Panel, parts like your transmission and engine would be unprotected against destructive elements like sunlight, moisture, dust, dirt, and other contaminants. Thus, negatively impacting the entirety of your Nissan.
A Hood Panel can become damaged in a few different ways, including dents, scratches, and peeling caused by rough elements like hail and rocks and from brute force caused by a car accident. A damaged hinge could also be to blame, since its main job is to connect the hood to the frame of your vehicle.
However, what seems the most minor — dents and scratches — could ultimately cause serious problems too. Certain "minor" concerns like these can leave the components beneath your hood exposed to the elements, which can cause corrosion and rust.
Not only does a Hood Panel help safeguard the essential components within car while offering easy access for repairs and maintenance, but it can also drastically affect the look and feel of your Nissan.
