Construction & Design

The Anderson Composites Type-GTH hood is constructed from premium fiberglass, a material chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. The manufacturing process involves vacuum infusion, a technique that ensures the fiberglass fibers are thoroughly saturated with resin, resulting in a lightweight, high-strength component with a smooth, consistent surface finish. The hood features aggressive vents and sculpted contours that not only enhance the vehicle's appearance but also improve airflow and heat extraction from the engine bay.

The surface is designed to be prepped with sanding and primer before painting, providing a perfect base for custom finishes. The hand-crafted nature of each hood guarantees precise fitment and attention to detail, making installation straightforward for experienced DIYers or professional installers. The overall design balances aesthetic appeal with functional benefits, making it a popular choice among Mustang enthusiasts looking to upgrade their vehicle’s look and performance.

Performance & Sound

While primarily focused on aesthetics and weight reduction, the Anderson Composites Type-GTH hood also contributes to improved engine cooling thanks to its vented design.
