Has anyone had one fitted to their kona yet?

Seems like there is a local manufacture in Australia making on that is ADR compliant. (our design rules)

Looks pretty good

They also do full size bull bars, but I don't need one of those.

The nudge bar's are usually to stop frontal impacts with our wildlife also taking out your radiator!

Those considering one will have a challenge in the fact you have to have someone fabricate you mounting points and as in one picture you will have to cut into the bumper cover for mounting points. Also note before venturing into these your Insurance will not pay for the additional damage that these cause if in any accident to your vehicle in the US. So before spending if any indication close to what one for a Subaru costs is over 500 and then shipping costs.

Also the extra package with front braking effect has two sensors in lower bumper zone, this may totally make them in effective ? All the new safety features are reforming what we grew up as "cars", now electronic gizmo's ! Last 30 years plus, no place to mount extra stuff, 8 track player, cassette player, cb radio, etc. LOL. Most young drivers today never heard of a Station Wagon ! A Bug ! Beetle ! etc. What is a 287, 327, Holley carb !

Thanks for the comment but the sensors in the front, are located in the middle lower portion of the facia, so it wouldn't effect either. :smile: pnwkona you are correct, so it's something to consider for sure.

Also most individuals who have bull bars etc get a false sense of security thinking it will make the vehicle stronger but more so increases the damage to said vehicle and the one they hit also to many then think they have a big rig with the bar on or again feel it helps it you hit a deer but you will loose against a Elk or bigger.

Just in.... Hyundai Australia has their own Official Part.

Comes in Chrome and Black. ($872.50 AUD = ~ $640 USD)


Got a call in at the dealer now to work out when they can get me stock of the black one.

Order is placed.

4 Hours to install :-/

I would assume this one is made by a local manufacturer, the same as our towbar is.
