Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 387 Exterior Parts
What years do your Peterbilt 387 bumpers and exterior parts fit?
Our Peterbilt 387 exterior parts are designed to fit model years 2000-2010. However, there can be slight variations between early and late production models. We recommend checking your OEM or calling our team at 1-888-875-7787 to confirm compatibility, especially for bumpers manufactured between 2004-2006 when Peterbilt made minor mounting bracket changes.
Are your aftermarket bumpers as durable as OEM Peterbilt parts?
Most of our aftermarket bumpers are constructed from 16-gauge steel with triple chrome plating or 304 stainless steel, matching or exceeding OEM specifications. Our chrome bumpers feature a copper-nickel-chrome plating process that resists rust and pitting. For maximum durability in harsh conditions, we recommend our stainless steel options, which carry a lifetime warranty against rust-through.
Do I need special tools or professional installation for bumpers and grilles?
Basic bumper installation typically requires standard hand tools including socket wrenches (usually 3/4" and 7/8"), and can be completed in 2-3 hours. However, some installations may require cutting or drilling for accessories like fog lights or air dam mounting. Grille replacements are generally easier, taking 30-45 minutes with basic tools.
What's the difference between your economy and premium exterior parts?
Economy parts feature standard chrome plating (single nickel layer) and are ideal for trucks in mild climates or lower-mileage applications. Premium parts include triple chrome plating, reinforced mounting points, and tighter manufacturing tolerances for better fit. Premium bumpers also include stainless steel hardware and typically carry longer warranties (3-5 years vs. 1 year for economy options).
Will aftermarket hoods and fenders match my truck's paint?
Our hoods and fenders come in primer finish ready for paint. They are manufactured to OEM specifications for proper fit and alignment. While we don't offer pre-painted options, the primer surface is specifically formulated for excellent paint adhesion. Most body shops report no issues matching factory colors when using our parts. For best results, we recommend professional painting and always suggest painting all adjacent panels together to ensure color consistency.
