Description
The Anderson Composites Type-SA Heat Extractor Double-Sided Carbon Fiber Hood is a performance-oriented exterior upgrade designed for select 2018–2023 Ford Mustang models. Featuring integrated heat extractors, this hood is designed to promote heat extraction from the engine bay while giving the Mustang a distinctive carbon fiber appearance. Its double-sided construction combines a carbon fiber exterior with a carbon fiber skeleton bonded to the underside to help reduce weight.
Manufactured using a vacuum infusion process with premium 3K, 2x2 twill carbon fiber cloth, the hood features a consistent carbon fiber weave and a polished, high-luster finish. A marine-grade gel coat containing UV inhibitors is applied and polished to help protect the surface and enhance its glossy appearance.
Handcrafted with attention to detail, the hood has an approximate weight of 23.8 lbs. It mounts using original equipment (OE) hardware, which is not included. The integrated mesh screen is removable and paintable, allowing additional customization.
Anderson Composites components are carefully handcrafted using high-quality materials. The production team brings over 20 years of experience working with carbon fiber, delivering superior craftsmanship and consistent weave patterns.
The company's production processes help achieve an exceptional carbon-to-resin ratio, contributing to high product stiffness and strength. Every component is meticulously inspected, and Anderson Composites stands behind its products to provide confidence in every genuine purchase.
Anderson Composites specializes in performance-oriented products designed to reduce unnecessary weight without sacrificing style. Its components have been used in competitive racing and are recognized among professional drivers for their performance-focused construction.
Installation considerations: Modifications may be necessary to correctly fit the original equipment windshield washer spray nozzle system. Mounting tabs may also require modifications, and minor adjustments may be necessary during normal installation. Verify the exact vehicle year and trim before ordering, as the manufacturer's notes list a broader range of applications than the supplied fitment table.
