Type-OE Dry Carbon Decklid

The Anderson Composites Type-OE Dry Carbon Decklid is meticulously hand-crafted for the 2014-2019 Chevrolet Corvette C7, offering a direct replacement for the original component. Constructed using an autoclave process with pre-preg 3K, 2x2 twill carbon fiber cloth, this decklid boasts a consistent weave pattern and a high carbon/resin ratio for exceptional stiffness and strength. It accepts the original factory glass and utilizes OE hardware for mounting, though the hardware is not included. This dry carbon fiber component features a matte finish. It is important to note that dry carbon does not have UV protection. For longevity and to prevent damage from UV exposure, it is recommended to coat the decklid with an automotive-grade clear coat containing UV inhibitors if you do not plan to paint or wrap the part. Installation may require minor adjustments. For optimal fitment, professional installation by an expert experienced with carbon fiber components is highly recommended. Anderson Composites explicitly states that OE gas struts/dampers should not be reinstalled, as they can place too much pressure on a composite decklid. The company also advises against installing high-profile or extra-large wings and spoilers, as the downforce they generate can damage the carbon fiber.
