{"product_id":"a49-3-carbon-fiber-hood","title":"A49-3 Carbon Fiber Hood","description":"The Trufiber A49-3 Carbon Fiber Hood is designed to enhance the performance and appearance of 2018–2023 Ford Mustang GT and EcoBoost models, addressing the heat management limitations of the factory hood. Its aggressive sculpted design and dual heat extraction vents actively pull hot air from the engine bay, which is particularly beneficial for high-performance or track-driven vehicles.\n\nConstructed from hand-laid, vacuum-infused, double-sided carbon fiber with a 3K, 2x2 twill weave, this hood offers significant weight savings over the stock aluminum hood. It features a show-quality gloss finish on both the top and bottom surfaces, eliminating the need for a separate underside liner. The integrated stainless mesh grille and reinforced metal latch and hinge plates add to its durability and safety.\n\nCrucially, OEM hydraulic hood struts are not compatible; a prop rod or aftermarket struts rated for carbon fiber must be used. For safety, especially at higher speeds, hood pins are strongly recommended and required by Trufiber. Professional installation is highly advised due to the nature of composite tolerances and vent alignment.\n\nThis A49-3 Carbon Fiber Hood is specifically NOT compatible with GT350, GT500, or Mach 1 models. It requires no additional wiring or ECU tuning for installation. Buyers should carefully inspect all packaging and the product upon receipt due to the potential for shipping damage, and report any issues within 24 hours according to the provided policy.","brand":"Trufiber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52689444405560,"sku":"TC10027-A49-3","price":2176.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687750262.jpg?v=1784906653","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/a49-3-carbon-fiber-hood","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
