Description
Reduce vehicle weight and enhance the performance-focused appearance of your Dodge Challenger with the Anderson Composites Dry Carbon Fiber Roof Replacement. Designed as a complete replacement for the factory steel roof, this lightweight carbon fiber panel is manufactured using an advanced autoclave process with pre-preg 3K, 2x2 twill carbon fiber.
Anderson Composites brings more than 20 years of carbon fiber manufacturing experience to every component. Each roof is carefully hand-crafted with a consistent carbon fiber weave and engineered for an excellent carbon-to-resin ratio, helping provide high stiffness and strength while significantly reducing weight compared with the factory steel roof.
At approximately 9.9 lbs., this carbon fiber roof weighs substantially less than the approximately 24 lb. stock steel roof, providing an estimated weight reduction of approximately 14.1 lbs. This makes it an excellent choice for performance-oriented Challenger builds where reducing unnecessary vehicle weight is a priority.

Lightweight Performance
The Anderson Composites Dry Carbon Fiber Roof provides a substantial weight reduction compared with the factory steel roof. The carbon fiber replacement weighs approximately 9.9 lbs., while the stock steel roof weighs approximately 24 lbs.
This represents an estimated 14.1 lbs. of weight savings, helping reduce overall vehicle mass while adding a distinctive motorsport-inspired carbon fiber appearance.
Installation & Fitment Notes
- The factory steel roof must be removed before installation.
- This is a true carbon fiber roof replacement, not an overlay or cosmetic roof cover.
- The roof does not include a pre-drilled hole for the roof-mounted antenna.
- The antenna hole must be drilled during installation if required for the vehicle.
- Professional installation is highly recommended due to the complexity of removing and replacing the factory roof structure.
- Proper alignment and installation procedures should be followed to ensure the replacement roof is correctly fitted to the vehicle.
Dry Carbon Finish & UV Protection
This product is manufactured from DRY carbon fiber and does not include UV protection. If the roof will remain exposed to sunlight and will not be painted or wrapped, Anderson Composites recommends applying an automotive-grade clear coat with UV inhibitors.
A suitable UV-protective clear coat can help preserve the appearance of the carbon fiber weave and protect the surface from long-term UV exposure.

Important Product Information
The Anderson Composites Dry Carbon Fiber Roof Replacement is intended for Challenger owners seeking significant weight reduction and a premium carbon fiber exterior upgrade. Unlike a carbon fiber roof skin or overlay, this component replaces the factory steel roof and therefore requires removal of the original roof.
Because roof replacement is a complex structural installation, professional installation is highly recommended. The product does not include a pre-drilled roof antenna opening, so the required antenna hole must be drilled during installation.
Important: This is a DRY carbon fiber component without built-in UV protection. An automotive-grade clear coat with UV inhibitors is recommended if the roof will remain exposed and is not going to be painted or wrapped.
