Description
Upgrade your 2018-2023 Ford Mustang with the Anderson Composites Type-GT5 Double-Sided Carbon Fiber Hood, designed to combine aggressive motorsport-inspired styling with functional engine heat extraction and lightweight construction. Featuring a large louvered vent and a premium carbon fiber finish, this aftermarket hood enhances the Mustang's exterior appearance while providing a performance-oriented 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. A carbon fiber skeleton is bonded to the underside of the hood, creating a double-sided carbon fiber design intended to reduce weight while maintaining a structured composite construction.
The hood incorporates a large 19 x 26-inch louvered vent with a total vent area of 3.43 square feet. This integrated vent is designed to promote heat extraction from the engine compartment and contributes to the hood's aggressive appearance. Anderson Composites also identifies increased front-end downforce as a design benefit.
A marine-grade gel coat formulated with UV inhibitors is applied and polished to help protect the carbon fiber surface while providing a glossy, high-luster finish. The hood's removable mesh screens can be painted, allowing customization to complement the vehicle's exterior color or create a contrasting accent.
With an approximate weight of 25.3 pounds, the Type-GT5 hood offers a lightweight alternative to the factory hood. Its combination of double-sided carbon fiber construction, functional venting, and distinctive styling makes it suitable for Mustang enthusiasts looking to enhance their vehicle's appearance with a motorsport-inspired upgrade.
Designed for select 2018-2023 Ford Mustang models, this hood is intended to use original equipment (OE) mounting hardware. The hardware is not included, so compatible factory hardware must be reused or suitable replacements obtained separately. Confirm vehicle compatibility and mounting requirements before installation.
The Anderson Composites Type-GT5 Double-Sided Carbon Fiber Hood is an excellent option for Mustang owners seeking premium carbon fiber styling, improved engine compartment heat extraction, and a lightweight aftermarket hood design.
