• Lightweight construction helps reduce overall vehicle weight, supporting better acceleration, braking, and handling characteristics.
• High-gloss finish provides a sleek, mirror-like appearance that complements the Corvette's sporty lines and enhances its visual impact.

• Hand-crafted craftsmanship guarantees superior quality and attention to detail, reflecting Anderson Composites' reputation for excellence.

Construction & Design

This hood is meticulously crafted from high-grade carbon fiber, utilizing a proprietary vacuum infusion process that ensures optimal fiber-resin ratio and structural integrity. The 3K 2x2 Twill Weave pattern not only offers a distinctive visual texture but also provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The two-piece vent design is engineered for efficient heat extraction and improved airflow, contributing to better engine cooling and performance.

The high-gloss wet-look finish is achieved through meticulous polishing and clear coating, giving the hood a premium appearance that resists UV damage and maintains its shine over time. The lightweight nature of carbon fiber reduces unsprung mass, which can translate into improved handling and responsiveness on the road or track.

Performance & Sound

While primarily focused on aesthetics and weight reduction, this carbon fiber hood also offers performance benefits by decreasing overall vehicle weight and improving airflow. The vented design aids in heat dissipation, helping maintain optimal engine temperatures during high-performance driving. The lightweight construction can contribute to quicker acceleration and more agile handling, making it an excellent upgrade for enthusiasts seeking both style and performance.

Installation & Fitment

The Anderson Composites Type-OE hood is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory hood on the Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray (2014–2019). Its precision engineering ensures a seamless fit with factory mounting points, requiring no cutting or drilling. Installation typically involves standard hand tools and can be completed with basic mechanical skills. Due to its lightweight design, handling and installing the hood is easier compared to OEM steel components.

For optimal results, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper alignment and secure fitment. No additional modifications or tuning are necessary, making this upgrade straightforward for experienced enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
