5 Premium Peterbilt 379 Grilles to Elevate Your Truck's Look
Restoring your front-end grille after experiencing some damage? Enhancing your truck's look? Consider polished aluminum, stainless steel, or mesh grille pattern to better customize your Peterbilt 379 truck.
If it's a simple replacement, you can keep your existing grille trim and surround.
But if your front end is damaged, replace the whole thing, down to the hood emblem and exterior trim (this can fade out and get pink from corrosion).
Here's Why You Should Upgrade with Stainless Steel
Most of the time your grille surround is going to be made of aluminum. But if you’re going for a classic look and feel, consider a shiny stainless steel design instead. That way, you can perfectly match your bumper and chrome trim accent pieces.
There are clear benefits to getting stainless steel material instead of aluminum: no need to polish it, won't dull out, easy to clean with Windex spray, corrosion resistant, and it looks better.
Another option is chrome-plated steel; it's shinier than stainless steel but that metal will rust if the outer finish gets chipped or scraped.
Regardless of what you buy, it's good practice to go with trusted aftermarket brands and avoid cheap, never-heard-of knock offs.
#1. Unique Stainless Steel Punch Grille Insert Pattern
One of the best ways to get a truly unique look to your truck is to slap on a punch grille. Punch grilles can offer a ton of customization options to choose from, with nearly endless punch pattern designs to choose from.
And while these aren’t the classic and beloved horizontal louvered grille bars or stainless steel vertical grille design, they offer so much personality to the rig and can be paired with sleek-looking trims.
#2. Decorative Grille Bar Designs
Bar grille designs can vary dramatically. But among the most popular designs are the half moon styles. Some of the most popular bar grille kits are the Kenworth style grilles.
These bars come in sets of 7, 9, 11, and 13, and can be paired with punch grilles to give a more distinct look.
#3. Python Stainless Steel Grille
If you want a really unique looking appearance to your horizontal grille, consider a python style grille. This one features oval-shaped holes patterned alongside these bars.
#4. Half Moon Horizontal Grille Bars
Horizontal grilles give an appearance of width or fullness to your rig.
#5. Stainless Steel Vertical Grille Bars
Vertical grilles give your front end a taller, more elegant look.
