Construction & Design

This hood is expertly crafted from high-grade carbon fiber using Anderson Composites' proprietary vacuum infusion process. This manufacturing technique introduces resin into the mold as a liquid, resulting in a high-gloss, wet-look finish that accentuates the weave pattern and provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface. The double-sided design features heat extractors on both sides, optimizing airflow and heat dissipation to help keep your engine bay cooler during demanding driving conditions.

The use of 3K Twill Weave Carbon Fiber ensures a perfect balance of strength and weight savings, making this hood not only visually striking but also highly functional. Its lightweight construction reduces overall vehicle weight, which can contribute to improved acceleration, handling, and fuel efficiency. The hood's precise fitment and high-quality craftsmanship reflect Anderson Composites' commitment to excellence and attention to detail.
