Description
The Anderson Composites Type-SN Fiberglass Hood is an aftermarket performance-style hood designed for select 2015–2017 Ford Mustang models. Featuring a front scoop with a removable and paintable mesh screen, this hood adds an aggressive appearance while promoting heat extraction from the engine bay. Constructed using a vacuum infusion process with fiberglass cloth, it offers a customizable exterior upgrade for Mustang owners seeking distinctive styling.
The front scoop's mesh screen can be removed and painted to suit individual styling preferences. The hood is designed to mount using original equipment (OE) hardware, which is not included.
Anderson Composites components are carefully handcrafted using quality materials. The company's production team brings over 20 years of experience working with carbon fiber and performance automotive components.
Anderson Composites emphasizes consistent manufacturing and careful product inspection. Its production processes are designed to achieve quality construction, and each component is inspected to help ensure product consistency. The company specializes in performance-oriented exterior products designed to enhance vehicle styling.
Preparation and installation are important for this fiberglass hood. Normal pre-paint preparation is required, including sanding and primer application. Occasional surface blemishes may occur during manufacturing and are intended to be addressed during the standard sanding and preparation process. Avoid applying excessive pressure when sanding, and do not bake the hood using a paint-curing lamp. Allow the finish to cure at ambient air temperature. Mounting tabs may require modifications, and minor adjustments may be necessary during installation. This product ships via ground truck freight only.
