Construction & Design

The Anderson Composites Type-AB Hood is meticulously manufactured using advanced composite techniques. The 3K 2x2 Twill Weave Carbon Fiber layers are carefully laid out to maximize strength and aesthetic appeal. The proprietary vacuum infusion process introduces resin into the mold as a liquid, ensuring an even distribution that results in a high-gloss, wet-look finish with exceptional clarity and depth.

This double-sided carbon fiber construction not only provides a striking visual from both the exterior and interior surfaces but also enhances structural integrity. The aerodynamic ram air scoop is integrated seamlessly into the hood's design, channeling air efficiently into the engine bay while maintaining a sleek profile. The lightweight nature of carbon fiber reduces unsprung mass, which can contribute to improved handling and responsiveness.
