The OEM hood on the 2015–2017 Mustang GT does nothing to help airflow, and it weighs more than it should. The Anderson Composites Carbon Fiber Ram Air Hood fixes both issues with a functional twin-scoop design and lightweight construction that brings real-world cooling and weight-saving advantages. This isn’t just a visual upgrade—it’s engineered to improve engine bay airflow and throttle response while dropping pounds off your front end.
Compared to the stock steel hood, this carbon fiber alternative looks sharper, vents more effectively, and complements aggressive builds. The functional ram air inlets direct cooler air toward your intake system, helping reduce heat soak. Whether you're running NA or boost, you'll appreciate the thermal efficiency—and the reduced nose weight helps improve steering feel at speed.
You’ll find this piece in our 2015 Mustang body styling parts catalog, and specifically in our collection of aftermarket Mustang hoods for 2015–2017 GT builds.
