Will these bug shields fit my specific Peterbilt 330, 335, or 337 model year?
Our bug shields are designed to fit Peterbilt 330, 335, and 337 models from 2005 to current production years. However, minor variations exist between model years, particularly in hood mounting points and grille designs. We recommend checking your truck's specific year and configuration before ordering. If you're unsure about compatibility, contact our customer service team with your OEM number, and we'll verify the correct fit for your truck.
What materials are these bug shields made from, and how durable are they?
Most bug shields in our inventory are manufactured from either high-impact acrylic or ABS plastic. Acrylic shields offer superior clarity and UV resistance, maintaining their appearance longer in harsh sunlight. ABS plastic shields are typically more impact-resistant and better suited for extreme weather conditions. Both materials are designed to withstand highway speeds, road debris, and temperature extremes from -40°F to 140°F. Expected lifespan ranges from 5-10 years with proper care.
How difficult is the installation, and what tools will I need?
Installation typically takes 30-60 minutes and requires basic hand tools including a drill with 1/4" and 3/8" bits, socket wrench set, and Phillips screwdriver. Most bug shields use a no-drill mounting system that clips onto existing hood hardware, though some models may require drilling 2-4 small holes in the hood's underside. All necessary mounting hardware and detailed instructions are included. Many customers successfully complete installation in their driveway without professional help.
What styles and finishes are available for these bug shields?
We carry bug shields in three primary styles: wraparound (extends partially down the hood sides), standard profile (sits flush with hood top), and low-profile (minimal height for better visibility). Finish options include smoke tint, clear, chrome, and matte black. Smoke tint remains the most popular choice as it complements most truck colors while reducing glare. Some models also feature aerodynamic venting to reduce wind noise and improve fuel efficiency.
Will a bug shield affect my fuel economy or create wind noise?
Properly installed bug shields have minimal impact on fuel economy, typically less than 1% decrease in highway MPG. Modern designs incorporate aerodynamic features that channel airflow smoothly over the hood. Wind noise is usually negligible at speeds under 65 mph. If you experience excessive noise, it often indicates incorrect installation or a loose mounting point. Ensure all clips and fasteners are properly tightened and the shield sits flush against the hood to minimize turbulence.
