Kenworth W900A Hood Emblems & Bezels

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W900A Hood Emblems & Bezels

What exactly are hood emblems and bezels used for on a Kenworth W900A?

Hood emblems are the decorative nameplates and logos mounted on the hood of your truck, while bezels are the trim pieces that frame or surround those emblems (and sometimes lights) to give them a finished, polished look. Together they help restore or personalize the appearance of your hood and protect the edges of the emblem from damage.

Will these emblems and bezels fit my specific W900A model year?

Kenworth made changes to hood styling and emblem mounting over the years, so fitment can vary between production runs. Always check the listed compatibility details on each product page, and compare the mounting hole pattern and dimensions of your current emblem or bezel before ordering to make sure it matches your truck.

What materials and finishes are available for these parts?

These emblems and bezels are commonly offered in materials like chrome-plated plastic, stainless steel, or die-cast metal, depending on the specific part. Finish options typically include polished chrome or stainless for a bright, reflective look. Check the individual product listing for the exact material and finish, since this affects both appearance and durability.

How do I install a replacement hood emblem or bezel?

Most emblems and bezels attach using existing mounting holes, clips, or adhesive backing, depending on the original design. Installation generally involves removing the old or damaged piece, cleaning the mounting surface, and securing the new part using the same style of fasteners or adhesive as the original. If your part uses adhesive, make sure the surface is clean and dry before applying for the best hold.

How do I keep chrome or stainless emblems and bezels looking good over time?

Regular washing with a mild soap and water solution helps prevent buildup of road grime and salt that can lead to pitting or corrosion. For chrome or stainless finishes, using a dedicated chrome polish periodically will help maintain shine and protect against rust, especially in areas with harsh winter road conditions.
