Your beer needs a koozie; your phone needs a case; and your dog needs a sensible jacket to go out on the cold. So it only makes sense to properly wrap your vehicle, too. Mek Magnet recognizes this need with its lineup of removable “vehicle armor,” including an all-new “Ugly Sweater” edition just in time for the holidays. These entirely unnecessary, limited-edition wraps are available in Black & White, Green & White, Red & White, or (my personal favorite), Original Ugly Sweater — a horrendous mix of red, green, and white that would’ve made Clark Griswold proud. Every kit also includes brightly colored holiday lightbulb decals to bedazzle your vehicle’s new sweater with an extra layer of hideous. Mek Magnet Like all of Mek Magnet’s removable armor, it’s made for SUV and truck drivers looking to add serious off-road protection to their vehicle’s paint. The side and optional hood panels help fend off “pin-striping” on brushy and overgrown trails. Depending on the vehicle make, the panels are constructed from either thick magnetic rubber (for steel body panels) or lightweight ballistic resin with what the company calls “Nano-Hold Technology” (for aluminum body panels). The latter can be removed, washed, and reapplied up to 200 times. Once installed correctly, they’re weatherproof and designed to stay put in almost any conditions, including rain, mud, dirt, locust swarms, and more. Mek Magnet’s Holiday Edition “Ugly Sweater” removable armor is available now for select Jeep and Ford Bronco trims, starting at $548. But they’re wildly popular with limited production runs and sell out fast. So, if you want one, it’s best to order now.
