I was looking into putting a bonnet protector on my lux and came across a post on another forum http://www.hilux4x4.co.za/views/viewtopic.php?t=30631 and was wondering if anyone here has discovered a similar issue... the gist of the issue is that installing a bonnet protector on the D4D model with a top mount intercooler and a bonnet scoop will deflect the air away from the scoop reducing the cool airflow into the intercooler and reducing performance and raising temperatures... in theory this makes sense but I'm wondering if this actually has an effect in the real world
Keen to hear if anyone has noticed a drop in performance after they have installed their bonnet protectors
