Freightliner Century 112/120 Hood Trim & Accents

Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner Century 112/120 Hood Trim & Accents

What kinds of products are included in this category?

This category covers hood trim and decorative accent pieces designed specifically for the Freightliner Century 112 and 120 models, including items like hood molding, trim strips, medallion emblems, hood latch covers, and other cosmetic accent hardware that attach to or around the hood area. These parts are primarily aesthetic upgrades or replacements rather than structural or safety components.

Will these trim pieces fit my specific Century model year?

Freightliner made some design changes to the Century 112/120 over its production run, so fit can vary slightly between earlier and later model years. Always check the product description for listed year ranges and compare mounting points or dimensions to your truck before ordering. If you are unsure, contacting our team with your VIN or model year on hand will help confirm compatibility.

What materials and finishes are available for hood trim and accents?

Most hood trim and accent pieces are made from stainless steel, chrome-plated stainless, or durable ABS plastic, depending on the specific part. Stainless and chrome options tend to hold up well against road grime and offer a polished look, while plastic components are typically lighter and more budget-friendly. Check each listing for the exact material and finish since options can vary by item.

How difficult is it to install hood trim and accent pieces?

Installation difficulty depends on the part. Many trim pieces use adhesive backing, clips, or existing factory mounting holes, making them straightforward for most owner-operators to install with basic hand tools. Some accent pieces, like larger moldings or emblems, may require careful alignment or removal of existing hardware first, so it is a good idea to review the installation notes on each product page before starting.

How do I keep chrome or stainless hood trim looking good over time?

Regular washing with a mild soap and water solution, followed by drying with a soft cloth, helps prevent water spots and buildup on chrome or stainless trim. For stainless pieces that see heavy road exposure, an occasional metal polish can help maintain shine and resist minor surface corrosion. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can dull the finish or scratch the surface over time.
