Description
Upgrade your 2015-2017 Ford Mustang with the Anderson Composites Type-GT5 Double-Sided Carbon Fiber Hood, engineered to deliver aggressive styling, functional heat extraction, and reduced weight compared with the factory hood. Featuring a prominent louvered vent and premium carbon fiber construction, this aftermarket hood enhances the Mustang's appearance with a distinctive motorsport-inspired design.
Manufactured using a vacuum-infused process with 3K, 2x2 twill carbon fiber cloth, the Type-GT5 hood features a consistent carbon fiber weave and carefully crafted construction. Its double-sided carbon fiber design incorporates a carbon fiber skeleton bonded to the underside of the hood, creating a lightweight composite structure with a premium carbon fiber appearance on both sides.
A major feature of this hood is its large 19 x 26-inch louvered vent, providing a total vent area of 3.43 square feet. The vent is designed to help extract heat from the engine compartment, making it a functional styling feature for performance-oriented Mustang builds. Anderson Composites also identifies increased front-end downforce as a design benefit.
The hood features a marine-grade gel coat formulated with UV inhibitors. Applied and polished to help protect the carbon fiber surface, this coating provides a glossy, high-luster finish that complements the Mustang's aggressive exterior styling. The removable mesh screens can be painted, allowing additional customization to match or contrast with the vehicle's exterior.
Weighing approximately 24.9 pounds, the Type-GT5 hood is lighter than the listed factory hood weight of approximately 31 pounds. This represents an approximate weight reduction of 6.1 pounds, based on the manufacturer's supplied figures.
Designed for select 2015-2017 Ford Mustang models, the hood uses original equipment (OE) mounting hardware, which is not included. Installation may require minor modifications to the mounting tabs and adjustments to the factory windshield washer spray nozzle system. Professional installation is recommended to help ensure correct alignment, secure mounting, and proper operation of the washer system.
The Anderson Composites Type-GT5 Double-Sided Carbon Fiber Hood is an excellent option for Mustang owners seeking a combination of lightweight construction, functional venting, and premium carbon fiber styling.
