Anderson Composites Carbon Fiber Heat Extractor Hood – 2015-2017 Mustang (AC-HD15FDMU-HE)

The stock hood on your 2015–2017 Mustang GT isn’t built to handle serious heat from track days or boosted setups. The Anderson Composites Carbon Fiber Heat Extractor Hood solves that problem by improving airflow through the engine bay while dropping front-end weight. With a race-bred extractor vent and sleek carbon construction, it’s a perfect match for serious street cars and competition builds alike.

Unlike OEM steel hoods, this one features a functional extractor that pulls hot air from the engine bay to help keep intake temps down and cooling systems running more efficiently. Built using wet carbon fiber and finished with a UV-resistant gloss clear coat, it looks just as sharp as it performs.

You’ll find this hood in our lineup of 2015 Mustang body styling parts and among our top-tier aftermarket Mustang hoods for S550 Mustangs.
