Type-T2 Carbon Fiber Hood

The Anderson Composites Type-T2 carbon fiber hood is meticulously hand-crafted to enhance the appearance and potentially reduce weight for the 2020-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Utilizing a vacuum-infused process with premium 3K, 2x2 twill carbon fiber cloth, this hood offers high product stiffness and extra strength. It features a marine-grade gel coat with UV inhibitors, polished to a high luster, and includes a pre-installed heat shield. A fiberglass "skeleton" is bonded to the underside of the carbon fiber construction. While the stock aluminum hood weighs approximately 26.5 lbs, this carbon fiber hood weighs around 27.3 lbs. Installation of this carbon fiber hood requires careful consideration. Minor adjustments may be necessary during the installation process, and professional installation by an expert experienced with carbon fiber components is recommended for the best possible fitment. It is crucial to note that all hoods require hood pins for safety reasons; Anderson Composites is not liable for damages resulting from the improper use of hood pins. Furthermore, the company advises against reinstalling OE gas struts, as they can place excessive pressure on a composite hood, potentially leading to cracks. Users should always close the hood carefully. This product is designed for all trims of the 2020-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. It also includes a California Proposition 65 warning regarding exposure to chemicals such as Styrene and Bisphenol A.
