Peterbilt 389 Front Fenders & Acc.

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 389 Front Fenders & Acc.

What materials are Peterbilt 389 front fenders available in?

Front fenders for the Peterbilt 389 are typically available in fiberglass and steel. Fiberglass fenders are lightweight, resistant to rust, and easy to repair if cracked, while steel fenders offer added durability and a more traditional look. Choosing between the two often comes down to personal preference, budget, and how the truck is used.

Will these fenders fit my Peterbilt 389 without modification?

Most fenders listed in this category are designed to match the factory dimensions and mounting points of the Peterbilt 389, but exact fit can vary depending on the model year, hood style, and any prior modifications made to your truck. Always check the product description for year and configuration compatibility, and compare measurements to your existing fender before ordering.

Do these fenders come primed, painted, or gel-coated?

Availability varies by product. Some fenders are sold unfinished and ready for paint, while others come with a gel coat or primer finish. If color matching is important to you, check the specific listing for finish details, since painting or additional prep work may be required after purchase.

What is included with the fender, and are mounting brackets or hardware sold separately?

Some fenders include mounting brackets and hardware, while others are sold as the fender only. Review the product listing carefully to see what is included, and check whether you will need to reuse your existing brackets, purchase them separately, or order additional accessories such as fender bracing or trim to complete the installation.

Can I install a front fender myself, or should I have it professionally installed?

Many customers install front fenders themselves using basic hand tools, especially if the original mounting brackets and hardware are being reused. However, if brackets need to be fabricated, aligned, or if bodywork and painting are involved, having a professional shop handle the installation can help ensure proper fit and finish.
