Key Features

The Anderson Composites Type-SS carbon fiber hood incorporates advanced materials and manufacturing techniques to deliver a product that stands out in both form and function. Key features include:

  • Hand-crafted using high-quality dry carbon fiber, which is known for its lightweight and high-strength properties.
  • Proprietary dry carbon process produces a flat, dull finish that is ideal for custom painting or leaving as-is for a stealthy look.
  • Removable and paintable metal mesh screens integrated into the design allow for improved airflow and a sporty appearance.
  • Precision-engineered to ensure a perfect fit on the 2005–2009 Ford Mustang, with no additional modifications required for installation.
  • Significantly reduces weight compared to OEM steel hoods, contributing to better acceleration, braking, and handling.
  • Durable construction resistant to warping, cracking, and environmental damage, ensuring long-lasting performance.
  • Designed with a focus on aesthetics, aerodynamics, and ease of installation for both daily drivers and show cars.

Construction & Design

The Anderson Composites Type-SS hood is meticulously manufactured using a proprietary dry carbon fiber process. Unlike traditional wet lay-up methods, this process introduces resin directly into the mold pre-impregnated with carbon fiber, resulting in a lightweight yet extremely rigid component. The flat, dull finish of the dry carbon fiber not only provides a sleek, modern appearance but also offers an excellent base for custom paint jobs.

The hood features a reinforced structure with precise cutouts for the metal mesh screens, which are removable for cleaning or customization. Its aerodynamic design enhances airflow over the engine bay, aiding in cooling and performance. The high-quality craftsmanship ensures a seamless fit and finish, with no need for extensive trimming or modifications during installation.

Performance & Sound

While primarily focused on weight reduction and aesthetic enhancement, the Anderson Composites Type-SS hood also contributes to improved vehicle dynamics. The significant weight savings help support better acceleration and handling, especially in spirited driving scenarios. The open design with mesh screens promotes better airflow to the engine bay, aiding in cooling during high-performance driving. This hood does not alter engine sound but complements the aggressive look and performance-oriented styling of your Mustang.

Installation & Fitment

The Anderson Composites Type-SS carbon fiber hood is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory hood. Installation is straightforward and typically requires basic hand tools. The hood mounts using the existing factory hinges and latch, with no cutting, drilling, or additional modifications necessary. For optimal fitment and finish, professional installation is recommended, especially if custom painting or detailing is desired. The lightweight construction makes handling and positioning easier during installation.
