The factory hood on the 2015–2017 Mustang GT isn’t doing much more than covering the engine bay—and when heat builds up or you want airflow improvements, it falls short. The Anderson Composites Fiberglass Ram Air Hood solves that by introducing functional front-facing scoops that push cool air toward your intake, plus a lightweight fiberglass build that sheds unnecessary weight from the front end.
Compared to stock, this hood offers a more aggressive design and real airflow functionality. Whether you're daily driving or hitting track days, the ram air scoops provide increased cooling and help reduce intake temps under load. It’s a solid solution for heat management and style, especially when paired with an open-element or sealed cold air intake.
You’ll find this upgrade in our 2015 Mustang body styling parts catalog, and under the aftermarket Mustang hoods section for 2015–2017 GT builds.
