Frequently Asked Questions About Volvo Hoods & Related
Will these aftermarket hoods fit my specific Volvo truck model and year?
Our Volvo hoods are designed to fit specific model years and series. Most aftermarket hoods fit VNL models from 2004-2017, with separate options for 2018+ models due to design changes. For VNM, VNX, and VHD models, compatibility typically spans 2011-2020. Always check the product description for your exact model year, as mounting points and hood slopes can vary between generations. If you're unsure, contact us with your VIN number and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
What's the difference between fiberglass and steel hoods, and which should I choose?
Fiberglass hoods are lighter (typically 40-60% less weight than steel), which can improve fuel economy and are easier to open manually. They resist rust but can crack on impact and may require more careful handling. Steel hoods are more durable against impacts and provide better long-term structural integrity, but they're heavier and susceptible to rust if the paint is damaged. Most drivers choose fiberglass for long-haul applications and steel for construction or heavy-duty work environments.
Can I install a new hood myself, or do I need professional help?
Hood installation typically requires two people and basic tools including socket wrenches, torque wrench, and alignment tools. The process involves removing the old hood, transferring hinges and latches (if reusing), and carefully aligning the new hood. Most installations take 2-4 hours. Critical areas include proper hinge alignment to prevent binding, correct latch adjustment for secure closure, and ensuring proper gaps around fenders and grille. While DIY is possible, professional installation ensures proper alignment and prevents damage to paint or components.
Are the hoods pre-painted, and will the color match my truck?
Most aftermarket hoods come in primer only and require painting to match your truck. Some suppliers offer pre-painted options in common Volvo colors like Arctic White or Midnight Black, but exact color matching can vary due to sun fading on your existing paint. For the best match, we recommend having the hood professionally painted using your truck's paint code. Budget an additional $300-$800 for professional painting and clear coat application.
What about hood accessories like mirrors, grilles, and bug shields - are they compatible?
Most OEM accessories will transfer to aftermarket hoods, but verification is important. Hood mirrors typically use the same mounting holes across model years. Bug shields and hood protectors generally fit if you're staying within the same generation (pre-2018 or post-2018 for VNL). Grille surrounds and trim pieces are usually compatible within the same model series. However, some aftermarket hoods may require minor drilling for certain accessories. Always check if the hood comes with pre-drilled mounting points for your specific accessories.
