Kenworth Cabover Hood Emblems & Bezels

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth Cabover Hood Emblems & Bezels

What exactly are hood emblems and bezels, and what do they do?

Hood emblems are the decorative badges that display the Kenworth name or logo on the front of your cabover hood, while bezels are the trim pieces or frames that surround and secure those emblems in place. Together they finish off the look of your hood and protect the edges of the emblem from damage caused by road debris, washing, and general wear.

Will these emblems and bezels fit my specific Kenworth cabover model?

Fitment can vary between Kenworth cabover models such as the K100 and other older cabover platforms, so it is important to check the listed compatibility on each product page before ordering. If you are unsure whether a particular emblem or bezel matches your truck's year and model, comparing the dimensions and mounting style to your current setup or contacting our support team can help confirm a proper fit.

What materials are these emblems and bezels made from, and how do the finishes differ?

Most emblems and bezels in this category are made from durable materials like chrome-plated plastic or metal, designed to hold up to daily highway use and washing. Finish options typically include polished chrome or brushed metal looks, so you can match the emblem and bezel to the rest of your truck's existing trim and accessories.

How difficult is it to install a replacement emblem or bezel myself?

Installation is generally straightforward and can often be done with basic hand tools in a home garage or shop setting. Most emblems and bezels use existing mounting holes or clips from the factory setup, but we recommend having the old hardware on hand for reference and taking care not to overtighten fasteners, which can crack the emblem or bezel material.

Can I replace just the emblem or just the bezel, or do I need to buy them as a set?

In many cases, the emblem and bezel are sold separately, so if only one piece is damaged or faded you may not need to replace both. That said, if your bezel is bent, corroded, or no longer holds the emblem securely, replacing both at the same time can give you a cleaner overall look and better long-term fit.
