Construction & Design

The Anderson Composites Type-OE hood is meticulously handcrafted using only the finest materials. The core material is 3K 2x2 Twill Weave carbon fiber, known for its durability, lightweight properties, and distinctive appearance.

The hood's design maintains the factory mounting points and fitment, making installation straightforward and secure. Its aerodynamic shape not only complements the Corvette's styling but also helps improve airflow and heat dissipation from the engine bay.
