Description

Featuring a distinctive 3-inch cowl profile, this aftermarket hood adds visual depth and a more muscular appearance to compatible 2015–2017 Ford Mustang models.
With more than 20 years of carbon fiber manufacturing experience, Anderson Composites emphasizes quality craftsmanship, consistent carbon fiber weave patterns, and carefully controlled carbon-to-resin ratios. The Type-CJ hood is manufactured using a vacuum-infused process and premium 3K, 2x2 twill carbon fiber cloth, combining an eye-catching finish with a weight-conscious design for street, show, and performance-oriented Mustang builds.
Double-Sided Carbon Fiber Construction
The Type-CJ hood features a carbon fiber outer panel bonded to a carbon fiber skeleton on the underside. This double-sided construction provides a carbon fiber finish on both sides of the hood assembly while helping reduce weight compared with the factory component.
The vacuum-infused manufacturing process supports consistent material distribution and a uniform carbon fiber weave. Anderson Composites focuses on craftsmanship and composite construction to create a premium aftermarket component that complements the Mustang's exterior styling.
Premium 3K 2x2 Twill Carbon Fiber Finish
Constructed from 3K, 2x2 twill carbon fiber cloth, the hood features the distinctive diagonal weave associated with premium automotive carbon fiber components.
A marine-grade gel coat containing UV inhibitors is applied and polished to help protect the surface and maintain a high-gloss finish. The polished exterior highlights the carbon fiber pattern and creates a striking contrast with the Mustang's factory bodywork.
Aggressive 3-Inch Cowl Styling
The Type-CJ cowl hood features a prominent 3-inch cowl design that gives the 2015–2017 Mustang a more aggressive, performance-focused appearance. Its raised profile enhances the vehicle's visual presence and complements other exterior modifications, including carbon fiber front splitters, grilles, and aerodynamic accessories.
This hood is designed for Mustang owners seeking a distinctive exterior upgrade for street cars, show vehicles, or performance-inspired builds. Its double-sided carbon fiber construction combines premium styling with a lightweight composite design.
