- 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 metal (or steel) overlay that covers your Nissan's engine bay. This vital component is responsible for protecting the performance parts that work together in keeping your vehicle functioning properly.
Without a Hood Panel in place, components like your transmission, radiator, and engine would be unprotected against damaging elements such as sunlight, water, debris, and other contaminants. All of which could negatively impact the performance of your Nissan.
A Hood Panel can become damaged in a few different ways, including dents, scratches, and peeling caused by rough elements like road trash, hail, and rough impacts caused by car incidents. A damaged hinge might also lead to problems, since this component connects your Hood Panel the frame of your Nissan.
And although dents and scratches seem like minor issues, they could ultimately cause serious damage as well. Certain Hood Panel injuries such as these can leave under-the-hood components exposed to the elements, which can can result in rust, corrosion, and degradation.
Not only do hood panels help to shield and protect the essential components within car and provide easy access for repairs and maintenance, but it also massively affects the overall style of your Nissan. If your current Hood Panel is damaged, make sure you get the correct style, fit, and function for your Nissan by shopping for genuine OEM components from Nissan Parts.
