Construction & Design

The Anderson Composites Type-GTH hood is built using advanced composite materials and manufacturing techniques. The core material is high-grade carbon fiber woven in a 3K 2x2 twill pattern, which offers an excellent balance of strength and weight savings. The vacuum infusion process introduces resin into the mold as a liquid, ensuring a consistent, high-gloss finish with minimal voids or imperfections. This method results in a durable, wet-look surface that is both aesthetically appealing and resistant to environmental wear.

The double-sided construction means that both the exterior and interior surfaces are finished with high-quality carbon fiber, providing a premium appearance from every angle. The precise molding process guarantees a perfect fit with the factory mounting points, requiring no additional modifications for installation. The lightweight nature of the composite material reduces the overall weight of the hood, which can positively influence vehicle dynamics and performance.

Performance & Sound

While primarily designed for aesthetic enhancement and weight reduction, the Anderson Composites Type-GTH hood can also contribute to improved vehicle responsiveness due to its lighter weight. Its aerodynamic design may assist in airflow management, potentially aiding in cooling and reducing lift at higher speeds. The high-quality carbon fiber construction ensures durability and resistance to heat and impact, making it suitable for spirited driving and show applications alike.

The Anderson Composites Type-GTH hood is a direct bolt-on replacement for the stock hood on the 2015–2017 Ford Mustang. Its precise mold ensures OEM-level fitment, and installation typically requires basic hand tools. No cutting, drilling, or additional modifications are necessary, making it a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts and professionals alike. Due to its lightweight design, handling and mounting are easier compared to traditional steel hoods, and the high-quality hardware included ensures secure attachment.
