Construction & Design

The Anderson Composites Type-SN hood is meticulously crafted from premium carbon fiber using a proprietary vacuum infusion process. This method involves infusing liquid resin into the mold under vacuum pressure, resulting in a consistent, high-quality composite that boasts a high gloss, wet-look finish. The 3K 2x2 Twill Weave pattern not only provides a distinctive aesthetic but also adds to the structural integrity of the hood.

The double-sided construction features carbon fiber on both the exterior and interior surfaces, ensuring durability and a premium appearance from every angle. The lightweight design reduces unsprung weight, which can positively impact handling and responsiveness. The hood's design incorporates functional vents and contours that complement the Mustang's aggressive styling while aiding in heat dissipation and airflow management.

Performance & Sound

While primarily focused on aesthetics and weight reduction, the Anderson Composites Type-SN hood also offers performance benefits by decreasing overall vehicle weight and improving aerodynamics. The high-strength carbon fiber construction ensures long-lasting durability, even under spirited driving conditions. Although it does not alter engine performance directly, the weight savings can contribute to better acceleration, braking, and handling characteristics.
