Header Panels for Cars & Trucks

The header panel mounts at the front of the vehicle, just before the hood. Its design and function vary according to vehicle. On some cars it may be a single sheet metal panel between the fenders, separating the hood and grille, while on others it’s an unseen structural support panel to which the grille, headlights and other parts attach. Regardless of the size or shape of the header panel on your car, we can supply you with all your header panel needs.

Header panels that are a visible part of the body can be made from steel, plastic or fiberglass. They can form part of the body or extend from fender to fender and house the grille and headlights. Since this type of header panel mounts in plain sight at your vehicle’s leading edge it has to look right, especially on a restored classic.

We offer header panels made by restoration parts manufacturers that repair cars themselves, so they know what works. These header panels are designed to the original dimensions and produced using modern tooling and the latest manufacturing techniques. They test fit each design to make sure it fits and looks properly before it is approved for production. Many of these parts have been approved by the manufacturers of the original equipment and are licensed to be sold as genuine replacement parts. Why waste time rooting around in scrap yards only to find a header panel that isn’t much better than what you already have? On our website, you’ll find the quality replacement panel you need.

A structural header panel may not be visible, but that doesn’t mean it’s less important. If anything, the integrity of this type of header panel is even more critical because so much of the front end body structure is attached to it. Trying to straighten a collision damaged header panel is only asking for problems. Even if component attachment points are only a little bit off, it will make body reassembly difficult if not impossible. Such a panel can ruin the look of the entire front end of a vehicle, even if you manage to bolt the parts on it.

A cheap replacement or used header panel can also spoil the appearance of your vehicle. You don’t know the history of a used part and the vehicle it came from could have also been in an accident. And a cheap replacement header panel could be poorly made. Even little panel deformation or fastener misalignment can make body assembly difficult, resulting in poorly fitting panels and unsightly front-end appearance. The quality replacement header panels we offer will make sure your vehicle turns out looking like new.
