Description
Upgrade your fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro with the Anderson Composites Type-CP (COPO Style) Fiberglass Cowl Hood, designed to deliver an aggressive, race-inspired appearance with lightweight fiberglass construction. Featuring distinctive COPO-style cowl styling, this aftermarket hood enhances the Camaro's front-end profile and provides a bold exterior upgrade for 2010–2015 Chevrolet Camaro LS, LT, and SS models.
Anderson Composites specializes in aftermarket automotive composite components, emphasizing careful craftsmanship, quality construction, and performance-inspired styling. The Type-CP fiberglass hood combines a molded fiberglass outer panel with a supporting fiberglass skeleton, creating a composite structure suitable for customized street, show, and performance-oriented Camaro builds.
Fiberglass Construction
The Type-CP hood features a fiberglass outer panel, commonly referred to as the A-side, bonded to a fiberglass skeleton on the underside, or B-side. This construction provides a consistent composite structure with a smooth exterior surface suitable for preparation and painting.
With an approximate weight of 25.4 pounds, this handcrafted hood offers an alternative to the factory hood while adding a more aggressive appearance. Its fiberglass construction is well suited to owners who prefer a paintable surface that can be customized to complement their Camaro's exterior color and styling.
Aggressive COPO-Style Cowl Design
Inspired by the race-oriented styling of the Chevrolet Camaro COPO, the Type-CP hood features a distinctive cowl profile that gives the fifth-generation Camaro a more muscular, performance-focused appearance.
The hood is designed to fit 2010–2015 Chevrolet Camaro LS, LT, and SS models. However, it retains the 2010–2013 body line in the center of the hood, including when installed on 2014–2015 models. This styling detail is important for owners of later-year Camaros who want to maintain a consistent appearance with their vehicle's original body lines.
Paint Preparation and Finishing
The fiberglass surface can be prepared and painted to match the vehicle or create a contrasting custom finish. Proper handling during preparation is essential to help maintain the integrity of the composite panel.
Important finishing instructions:
- Avoid applying excessive pressure to the hood surface while sanding.
- Do not use a paint-curing lamp to bake the hood.
- Allow the finish to cure at ambient air temperature, following the applicable paint manufacturer's recommendations.
Following these precautions during preparation and finishing can help reduce the risk of surface damage.
