{"product_id":"type-oe-dry-carbon-fiber-hood-1","title":"Type-OE Dry Carbon Fiber Hood","description":"The Anderson Composites Type-OE Dry Carbon Fiber Hood is a meticulously crafted replacement designed to enhance the aesthetics and performance of your 2020-2024 Chevrolet Corvette C8.\n\nThis hood is constructed using an advanced autoclave process, featuring 3K, 2x2 twill carbon fiber cloth with a matte finish for a sleek, performance-oriented look. The production team boasts over 20 years of experience in carbon fiber craftsmanship, ensuring a consistent weave pattern and a high carbon-to-resin ratio for exceptional stiffness and strength. The hand-crafted hood weighs approximately 9 lbs, offering a substantial weight reduction compared to the original equipment (OE) hood, which weighs 15.7 lbs.\n\nInstallation requires the use of OE hardware, which is not included. It is crucial to note that all hoods require hood pins for safety; Anderson Composites is not liable for damages resulting from failure to use them. Additionally, a heat shield is required, and reinstalling OE gas struts is not suggested as they can place too much pressure on a composite hood. Always close the hood carefully, as slamming it may cause it to crack.\n\nProfessional installation is recommended for the best possible fitment, as minor adjustments may be necessary during the installation process. The manufacturer advises that while many body shops have extensive experience, they may lack specific expertise with carbon fiber components. This DRY carbon fiber hood does not have UV protection; it is recommended to coat it with an automotive-grade clear coat containing UV inhibitors if you do not plan to paint or wrap the part.","brand":"Stillen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52869827133752,"sku":"AC-HD20CHC8-OE","price":3499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/688012224.jpg?v=1787918344","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/type-oe-dry-carbon-fiber-hood-1","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
