GT Style Carbon Fiber Hood

The Anderson Composites GT Style Carbon Fiber Hood offers a significant upgrade in both aesthetics and weight savings for the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray and Z06 models (2020-2025). This hood features an endurance racing-inspired design with vents that enhance airflow and engine cooling, contributing to a more aggressive, motorsport-ready profile. Constructed using a precise autoclave process with 3K, 2x2 twill carbon fiber cloth, this hood boasts a premium matte finish. It is meticulously handcrafted and weighs only about 9 pounds, a substantial reduction from the stock hood's 15.7 pounds. This weight difference can contribute to improved vehicle balance and acceleration. However, for safety, all hoods require the installation of hood pins. A heat shield is also required, and the use of a hood prop rod is highly recommended. It is important to note that this dry carbon fiber component does not have built-in UV protection; therefore, applying an automotive-grade clear coat with UV inhibitors is strongly recommended to preserve the finish, especially if the part is not painted or wrapped.
