Perfect fit for a 17 Santa Fe Sport. Like that it’s low profile, as well as the dark color. It’s pretty much black, barely transparent. Looks great too! Adds to the little sporty look.

Sleek looking on the vehicle, as described. Installation instructions were clear and it was easy to put on. Since this is a flush mount, it gives the vehicle a cleaner line for the hood protection as opposed to other hood protectors that stick up.

Product took an extra week to arrive, assuming it had to do with COVID19 sanitizing products taking priority for shipping through Amazon which was fine. Product was easy to install, directions on included paperwork were easy to understand. There’s 12 steps overall but simple tasks. Love it so far! Although people must understand that this isn’t installed with screws, it’s just double sided 3M tape so cross your fingers that it says on in those hot summers and through car washes 🤞

This hood protector is absolutely awesome. Easy to install, it is made well and it looks great! Thanks for a quality product.

Hugs the passenger side perfectly, the driver side is cut differently. The radius on the corner is different, and is cut this way. When pointed out to the seller they blamed the hood. You can clearly see where the product is cut differently. Looking from the front you can see the white clear as day on the bottom corner. Maybe I got a bad one, but I’m not spending more money to find out.

Not a perfect fit but close. The curves are not exact. Was fairly easy to install.

I have this brand of hood deflector on another one of my vehicles and loved the fit and price point so picked on up for my 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. As others have mentioned the fit is almost perfect but it’s not 100% symmetrical but honestly the only person that can tell is the installer. For the $70 I paid I’m OK with it. Comes with alcohol wipes and an adhesion-promotor sponge, only thing I’d say is make sure you line it up right the first time because the tape was so strong I couldn’t even reposition it once, though it may have something to do with the hot temperatures outside while I was fitting the piece.One more thing to note is it’s quite slim and does not go the full length of the hood. Not sure if it serves as a bug deflector so much as a rock-chip-protector but either way makes the car look cool.

Easy to install, adhesion is great. Perfect fit.

These cars are known for paint chipping on the hood. There are several in my town that had the same problem. I just wish I would’ve put this on sooner before it got too bad!

Great product. The edges are razor sharp! Wish I had installed it much sooner. I had really bad paint damage from highway bugs and rocks hitting the hood. But take a moment and lightly file the edges of it before installing or you’ll tear up your hands. Would have been nice if that was checked before leaving the factory.Also, I followed their instructions and still had trouble lining it up. The adhesive is really strong and grabs firm and fast! I quickly tried to reposition it, and it cracked in a weak spot. I’m leaving it on, but might be best to have some help with you to be sure you’re lined up before the adhesive bonds. Overall it’s a good fit. Can’t go wrong for the money.
