Whether your drive an old clunker or a futuristic sports car, it can generally be agreed upon that no one likes the looks of scratches, dings, dents, paints, mud, or dirt splattered all over their hood. But hey, accidents happen, right? And that's why they call them accidents. Rather than stockpiling an arsenal of soaps, sprays and polishes, it may be better to opt for foresight and equip your car with a hood cover. Made from plastic or rubber composites, covers stretch over the hood (or bonnet, as they call it overseas!) of your vehicle. Now, every time you park underneath a flowering tree in springtime, you won't have to drive around a car that looks like the floor of a greenhouse.
Types
While most covers are standard, there are some pieces of flair that can be added. Sports teams put out different versions, so you can match your vanity plates and show off some team pride while you keep your car safe from debris. Different manufacturers produce covers specifically designed for automobile makes and models, so if you love your car's brand and want to show it off doubly, you could always pick up one of those. While it may seem like these accessories are devices of function over form, there's nothing out there that says you can't have both! So gear up, strap a cover on your car, and ride in security and style.
