Top 5 Chrome Upgrades from Trux Accessories

3rd Apr 2026

Trux Accessories is best known for crafting unique LED lighting solutions, but they also feature a wide catalog of exterior chrome trims, fenders, exhausts, and accessories.

Here are the top 5 chrome accessories from Trux that owners should consider for their next build.

#1. Smoke & Mirror Colored Fenders

One of the most popular aftermarket chrome upgrades from Trux continues to be fenders - mirror-polished stainless steel fenders.

It’s a great choice for drivers who want to build a custom show truck that focuses on a particular use of color ranges for the rig's theme.

You can match the fender with the truck’s body paint, dual-resolution sleeper lights, and a variety of exterior cab trim pieces to deliver a more powerful, distinctive appearance.

Best Features: PVD (physical vapour deposition) Titanium ion plating; scratch-resistant; quarter fender, single fender, or half fender setups; black & colored stainless-steel mirror finishes with smooth rolled edges, and wide wheel coverage to stop excess water, dirt, and debris from spraying excessively.

Smoke and mirror fenders come in 14-gauge and 16-gauge thicknesses with multiple color and finish options (black, green, purple, blue, grey).

What makes it unique?

These fenders are made using PVD, a titanium-ion plating process, which bonds the color to the stainless steel in order to create a scratch and corrosion-resistant surface area.

Why buy Trux smoke and mirror fenders?

They feature extreme durability and an affordable price point when compared to other stainless steel fender brands.

Recommended Style Pairings:

Add that dark mirror aesthetic with clear-lens LED rear light panels, frame-mounted dual-tone watermelon lights for an underglow effect, and a suite of polished 304-stainless steel exterior chrome upgrades (visors, chop-tops, bumpers).

#2 Stainless Steel Sun Visors

Trux stainless steel drop visors feature classic styles like straight drop, gangster (low drop), bow tie, and reverse bow tie setups.

Best Features: Trux Accessories’ visors deliver both structurally reinforced welds for added durability, a corrosion-resistant 304 steel material, and engineered to fit your truck’s make/model setups (roof height, windshield profile, and mirror mounts).

Trux Peterbilt "Bowtie" Visor: An 11-inch drop with a "boltless" look. It uses specialized TRUX brackets to maintain a clean aesthetic across the flat-bottom roof.

Trux Kenworth T680/T880 Visor: An 8.5-inch drop designed specifically for high-roof sleepers. It includes four heavy-duty brackets to manage wind resistance at highway speeds.

Trux Mack Anthem Visor: A 13-inch drop where the fitment notes distinguish between models with and without roof fairings.

Trux Freightliner Classic Gangster Drop Visor: 15-inch stainless steel designed for trucks with cab-mounted mirrors or door mounted mirrors.

#3. Sleeper Panel Trim with Dual Revolution Lighting

Trux panel trims help to define the lines of the truck and provide a long-lasting mirror-finish shine that pairs well with other exterior chrome upgrades.

The dual-revolution light integration setup makes it easy to switch from an amber light to green (or another color) from inside of the cab.

They also sell a large variety of sleeper panel designs, including louvered panel kits, and smooth stainless steel without light integrations.

Sleeper extension panels: hardware sold as a pair for a tighter fitment around your truck model BBC, like Peterbilt 389 long hood sleeper extension panels (blank).

Full Sleeper Panels: larger, more structural pieces (78-inches long) that mount under the sleeper and must be drilled using specialized hardware to connect the 12-lb ss plates to the sleeper base.

Sleeper window trims: specifically designed for forward-facing windows on a Kenworth T series and W9800 and Aerocab sleeper, they quickly mount on via adhesive strip tape.

Best Features: "Chop-top" panels and window accents; often tape-mounted.

#4. Chop Top Window Panels

Upper sleeper window trims that create a uniform stainless steel framework around the rig. Available in 8-inch and 5-inch panel sizes.

Door window shop trims can be painted to match your body paint, or polished steel to match the various external chrome accents.

Best Features: Trux Chop Top trims utilize 3M double-sided tape, allowing for a "stainless look" without permanent body modifications. It’s a lower risk installation that doesn’t compromise the door’s weather sealing.

Trux 5-inch chop-top door panels offer the classic long-hood aggressive profile to the exterior. It’s a chrome accessory that pairs well with additional exterior trims.

#5. Rear Center Light Panels

These rear 403 mirror-shine stainless steel light panels vary by truck fitment. But rear truck panels can add the finishing touches to a 360-degree chrome renovation to your truck.

Best Features: Pre-wired LED systems; DOT-compliant; High-end models have an aluminum composite back plate to protect the wiring and LEDs from salt/moisture/debris; Mirror-shine 430 stainless uses nickel-free, highly reflective material.

Notable Recommendation: Chrome Wheel Hub Kits

Chrome-polished hub cover and nut cover kits provide an all-in-one solution for getting a clean, polished finishing touch to your chrome exterior upgrades.

Best Features: Chrome ABS plastic; rust-resistant; removable hubcaps.
