Hexprotect Underbody Protection® – Reliable Skid Plates & Sump Guards for Your Vehicle
The undercarriage of a vehicle is one of its most vulnerable areas. Critical components such as the engine, oil pan (sump), and gearbox are located here. Even a single impact from a rock, curb, or road debris can cause serious damage. The result: expensive repairs and unwanted downtime.
That’s why investing in Hexprotect Underbody Protection® skid plates and sump guards is a smart choice. Our custom-made solutions shield your vehicle against everyday risks – whether you’re driving in the city, on country roads, or off-road.
Why Skid Plates and Sump Guards Matter
Many cars leave the factory with little to no protection underneath. In most cases, manufacturers only install thin plastic covers that offer minimal resistance. For drivers who frequently encounter rough terrain, gravel roads, or snowy conditions, this simply isn’t enough.
A solid steel skid plate or sump guard absorbs impacts, resists stone chips, and prevents costly damage to vital parts. Protecting your engine, sump, and gearbox means fewer repair bills and a longer vehicle lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the skid plate or sump guard fit my car?
Yes. Each protection plate is made specifically for the vehicle model, ensuring a perfect fit.
Can I install it myself?
Many customers install the skid plate or sump guard themselves. Alternatively, it can be quickly fitted in any workshop.
What’s the difference between steel and aluminum?
Steel offers maximum strength, while aluminum is lighter. Both provide reliable protection – the choice depends on your vehicle and driving style.
My car already has a factory underbody shield. Why would I need a Hexprotect skid plate or sump guard?
Most factory-installed covers are thin plastic and do not withstand strong impacts. Hexprotect skid plates and sump guards are robust, durable, and designed to protect your car even under heavy stress.
Which parts of the car are protected?
Primarily the engine, sump, and gearbox. Depending on the model, other vulnerable undercarriage components are also covered.
