Tough Protection for the Final Classic Shape.
The OCAM 4x4 Bonnet Protector is the essential upgrade for the Facelift Toyota Hilux (09/2001–02/2005). This generation of Hilux is legendary for its durability, but the paintwork on the leading edge of the bonnet is prone to stone chips and rust. This bonnet protector provides a robust shield, keeping your classic rig looking clean and well-maintained.
Stop Rust Before It Starts
On older steel bodies, stone chips can quickly turn into rust spots if left unchecked. The OCAM Bonnet Protector acts as a sacrificial barrier, absorbing the impact of stones, gravel, and road debris so your paint doesn't have to. It also helps deflect bugs and airflow up and over the windscreen.
Modern Style for a Classic Ute
Give your Hilux a facelift of its own. Manufactured from high-quality, UV-stabilised acrylic with a dark "smoke" tint, this protector adds a sleek, aggressive look to the front end. It is designed to contour perfectly to the bonnet lines of the 2001–2005 facelift models.
Easy Clip-On Installation
No drilling, no rust, no worries. This bonnet protector installs securely using the provided clips and automotive-grade hardware. It utilises existing mounting points or clamps to the bonnet edge, ensuring a tight fit that won't rattle loose on the corrugations.

Frequently Asked Questions
My HiLux is a 2001 model. How can I confirm if this guard suits my specific front end?
Toyota executed a significant facelift in September 2001. This protector is precision-molded specifically for that updated late-run generation stretching from late 2001 through to early 2005. You can verify your vehicle belongs to this group by checking if your front grille surrounds the top edge of your headlights. If you have a pre-September 2001 build with the flatter headlight configuration, this specific guard will not snap correctly onto your hood lines.
Will this bonnet protector clear aftermarket bull bars or wrap-around brush rails?
Yes. OCAM designs this guard to sit tight and flush against the factory curves of your sheet metal hood panel. Because it mirrors the moving bonnet lines itself and doesn't project significantly forward, it easily maintains an adequate clearance gap from steel bull bars, hoop arrangements, and commercial winch platforms without binding or rubbing when opened.
How does the flipped aerodynamic lip shield my windscreen from highway debris?
The guard features a subtle, built-in aerodynamic up-kick or foil profile along its trailing edge. When cruising at highway speeds, this angle forces the passing wind current into a sharp upward vortex. This localized air channel helps deflect smaller debris—such as sand grains, highway bugs, and fine gravel stones—upward and completely clean over your front glass pane, reducing chipping hazards.
Is drilling required for installation, and will it leave marks on my vehicle?
No drilling or cutting is required. This is a 100% bolt-free, drill-free exterior accessory. It slides into place over your leading paint edge using heavy-duty, contour-matched metal fastening clips. The package supplies clear protective plastic insulation strips that act as a safety barrier between the clip inner surfaces and your factory paintwork, leaving your metal panels completely unmarked.
