Construction & Design

This hood is expertly crafted from high-quality carbon fiber using Anderson Composites' advanced vacuum infusion technique. The 3K 2x2 Twill Weave pattern not only provides a distinctive visual appeal but also offers excellent structural integrity. The double-sided construction ensures that both the exterior and interior surfaces are finished with the same high-gloss, wet-look resin, giving the hood a premium appearance and added durability.

The design incorporates functional vents and contours inspired by the GT350, aimed at improving airflow over and through the engine bay. This not only enhances cooling efficiency but also contributes to the overall aerodynamic performance of the vehicle. The lightweight nature of carbon fiber significantly reduces the hood's weight compared to OEM steel or fiberglass counterparts, supporting better handling and acceleration.

Performance & Sound

While this product primarily focuses on aesthetic enhancement and weight reduction, the use of high-quality carbon fiber and precise engineering can contribute to improved vehicle responsiveness. The lightweight construction reduces front-end weight, which can positively influence handling dynamics. Additionally, the aggressive styling and venting may subtly influence airflow and engine bay cooling, supporting sustained performance during spirited driving or track use.

The Anderson Composites Type-GR hood is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory hood. No cutting, drilling, or modifications are typically required, making installation straightforward for those with basic mechanical skills. It is recommended to follow the included installation instructions carefully to ensure proper alignment and secure mounting. Due to the precision manufacturing process, the hood offers a seamless fit that integrates smoothly with the vehicle's body lines, providing a clean, professional appearance.
