Anderson Composites Dry Carbon Fiber Front Hood for 2020-2024 Chevrolet Corvette C8

If you're looking to give your 2020-2024 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray a serious upgrade, check out this dry carbon fiber front hood. This isn't just any hood—it's an OE replacement that brings some serious style and performance to the table. Crafted from 3K, 2x2 twill carbon fiber cloth using an autoclave process, it has a sleek matte finish that looks as good as it performs.

One thing to keep in mind is that this dry carbon fiber doesn't come with UV protection, so if you want to keep it looking fresh, consider coating it with an automotive-grade clear coat that has UV inhibitors. If you're not planning on painting or wrapping it, this step is crucial to maintain that killer look.

What I love most about this hood is its weight. It’s hand-crafted and comes in at around 9 lbs, which is a nice drop from the stock hood that weighs about 15.7 lbs. That’s some serious weight savings for performance enthusiasts. Just remember, all hoods require hood pins for safety, and a heat shield is a must-have to keep everything running smoothly under the hood.

Installation is straightforward since it mounts with the OE hardware, but keep in mind that Anderson Composites doesn't recommend using aftermarket gas shocks or dampers. A hood prop rod is your best bet for keeping it open while you work on your ride.

So, if you're rocking a 2020-2024 Corvette Stingray, this dry carbon fiber front hood is a solid choice. It combines style, weight savings, and the kind of craftsmanship that any car enthusiast can appreciate.
