Front End Masks

"MM" Series - Hood opens with
mask in place

For maximum protection, you can't beat a full
front mask. They cover the bumper area (some
truck models do not cover the bumper, to allow
for installation of lights, grill guards, etc.) and the
leading portion of the hood area. MM Series
masks are a little more difficult to install, since
the hood piece is separate and must be lined up
with the fender area mask for a good installation.
The finished product is worth the effort! We
usually screen radiator openings because we
feel it's important to protect the front areas as
much as possible. We have done plenty of
testing over the years to confirm that the screen
does no increase the engine temperature.
There are some applications, like Firebirds and
some Corvette models have the hood opening
so far back that a hood piece isn't required.
These patterns are noted in our applications.

"MN" Series Mini-Mask

Mini-masks were designed to protect the area of the hood that takes the most abuse. The
front area before the break of a hood is normally where most of the bugs hit and road
damage occurs. This style of mask offers an economical alternative to a full mask and is
easily stored.

Quality features you'll find in every mask

Protective air intake screens are an integral part of the mask, not separate, and they are
sewn into the outside of the mask so there are no loose pieces of material inside to
abrade the paint surface.
Covered aluminum tabs allow adjustment at the fender wells as vinyl expands and
contracts due to temperature.
Reinforced air foils prevent flapping and lift. Very few patterns don't require this feature
We use micro-perforated finish on our vinyl. It allows the mask to "breath" and permits
moisture to evaporate when the vehicle is driven in wet weather. Still if a mask becomes
wet and is going to be left sitting in the sun, we recommend it be removed to allow the
backing to dry properly.
Our heavy-gauge leather grain vinyl has a soft, protective backing. We use white
non-woven fleece so you can easly see when it's time to clean the back-side of the mask.
Seams are overlapped and finished with a strong, durable top stitch. Edges are covered
with soft, non-abrasive felt-rimmed bindings.
