Frequently Asked Questions
It's well known that there is plenty competition in this market, however the biggest players out there have become complacent and have significantly lowered the quality of the products they produce. At PHD Customs we strive every day to improve the already excellent quality in our products. Furthermore throughout the years stainless steel products have been regarded as necessarily overpriced and we are the first to prove that theory wrong delivering great quality at very competitive prices.
Not all stainless steels are equal, there are many different stainless steel alloys with different properties for different applications. We use one of the best stainless alloys available which is 304. This alloy also known as non-magnetic stainless steel offers even better corrosion resistance than other alloys. Even though some of our competitors market their products as stainless steel they hide the fact that they use 430 which has less corrosion resistance.
Stainless steel is a superior material for automotive accessories due to its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Unlike chrome plated parts, stainless steel won't peel, chip, or rust over time, ensuring that your accessories will last for years to come. Additionally, stainless steel has a more polished and refined appearance than chrome plated parts, making it the perfect choice for those who want to add a touch of sophistication to their truck. At Phd Customs, we exclusively offer high-quality stainless steel accessories to ensure that our customers receive the best products on the market.
PHD Customs focuses on premium raw materials, precision manufacturing with in-house tooling, and attention to detail—backed by a two-year warranty on products. That combination delivers high, repeatable quality at competitive prices.
We build with 304 stainless steel (non-magnetic, high corrosion resistance), not 430. Many items are offered in mirror-finish 304 for a show-quality look that also lasts on the road.

You’ll find stainless accessories like under-frame light brackets (for 2" round, 4" round, 6" oval, watermelon lights), rear T-bars, door chops, and battery/tool-box covers.
Start by filtering your truck’s Make and Model, then select Size, Shape, Cutouts, and Light Holes. If your truck has radar, fog lights, or tow points, pick the corresponding cutout code from the product filters. The “Understanding Bumpers” guide explains shapes and options in detail.
