where can I find a brush gaurd for my 2002 Sante Fe?

Answer 1

In other words, you are looking for a people killer. Your vehicle is designed so a person who is hit folds over the hood, and cuts the odds of catastrophic or fatal injury. Bush guards pretty much guarantee that a collision with a person at speed busts them in 3. That being said, pretty much any auto accesories outfit would be able to get one to fit your vehicle, if you really are planning on serious off-roading in the woods. And no, I am not anti-suv. I just believe bush guards should be used on very few suvs or trucks, as most of them never, ever go off the road. The pedestrian-friendly hood, which reduces the impact when a person bounces off the top of the car, is mandated in Europe and Asia since those regions require pedestrian safety. The addition of brush guards is different, they are less stout and differetly shaped, and cannot dramatically increase the possiblility of death and dismemberment. We here in the North America are free to not really give a crap about pedestrian injuries. Just imagine your 13 year old on a bicycle, and what he of she would look like after being hit by a vehicle with a solid steel rack on the front of it, like the ones pictured on these sites, and then tell me it isn't a people killer on city streets. But, they look cool, and that seems to be more important to many people.

Try Smittybilt, Rhino, Waag, or Westin.... I dont know many aftermarket brands for the Sante Fe. Good luck!

The previous poster was just anti-suv. Enjoy your ride!
