Description
Transform your C6 Corvette’s hood into a functional performance asset with the Anderson Composites Type-WH Carbon Fiber Heat Extraction Hood. Built with lightweight 3K carbon fiber via vacuum infusion, this hood swaps in at ~18.4 lbs and improves both engine cooling and aero efficiency through integrated venting. The vented design helps purge under-hood heat while retaining sharp lines that complement the Corvette’s aggressive styling. Beyond looks, this hood reduces mass up front, contributing to sharper handling and a more responsive front end.
