If you’re looking to add some serious style and a bit of performance to your ride, check out the Anderson Composites Carbon Fiber Hood. This isn’t just any hood; it’s a piece of craftsmanship that’s been hand-built with care. With over 20 years in the game, the folks at Anderson know their way around carbon fiber, and it shows.

What’s cool about this hood is the consistent weave pattern that not only looks slick but also provides a solid carbon/resin ratio. This means you get a lightweight component that’s tough as nails. Seriously, it’s designed to handle the demands of the track while still turning heads on the street.

Now, let’s talk features. This hood is made using a vacuum-infused process with 3K, 2x2 twill carbon fiber cloth, which is a fancy way of saying it’s built to last. Plus, it’s got a marine-grade gel coat with UV inhibitors, so it’ll stay looking sharp even under the sun. And don’t worry about heat; it comes with a heat shield already installed, so you can focus on driving without any worries.

When it comes to installation, you’ll be glad to know it mounts up with OE hinges and latch assembly, but you’ll need to grab some hardware separately. Just a heads-up though: all hoods require hood pins for safety, so make sure you’ve got those in place. Anderson Composites isn’t responsible for any mishaps if you skip this step!

As for the specs, this hood fits all trims of the 2020-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. It’s a pickup truck hood made from carbon fiber, and it weighs in at about 28.5 lbs. That’s not a huge difference from the stock aluminum hood at 26.5 lbs, but every little bit helps when you’re trying to shed weight for better performance.

Keep in mind, though, that if you’re thinking about using gas struts, Anderson doesn’t recommend it. The pressure from those can be a bit much for a composite hood. Just be gentle when closing it—slamming it could lead to cracks, and nobody wants that.

For the best fit, it’s a good idea to have a pro install this hood. Even if a body shop has been around for ages, they might not have the experience needed for carbon fiber or fiberglass. A little expertise goes a long way here.

So, if you’re ready to give your Silverado a unique look while keeping things lightweight and functional, the Anderson Composites Carbon Fiber Hood is a solid choice. Just remember to grab those hood pins and treat it with the care it deserves!
