Description
The stock S550 hood isn’t built to support serious power-adders or high heat loads, especially when you’re running boosted setups. The Anderson Composites Double-Sided Carbon Fiber Cowl Hood fixes that by giving you extra clearance up top, better underhood airflow, and a weight-saving carbon fiber construction that’s as functional as it is aggressive.
Unlike single-sided options, this hood is finished in real carbon fiber both inside and out. The 3" cowl design clears bulky aftermarket intake manifolds and blowers while channeling airflow away from the engine bay—making it ideal for high-performance street and drag builds.
You’ll find it alongside other top-tier options in our 2015 Mustang body styling parts or head over to our full lineup of aftermarket Mustang hoods to compare styles and specs.
Key Features & Benefits
- 3-Inch Cowl Clearance – Fits aftermarket intake manifolds, superchargers, and other tall induction components
- Fully Finished on Both Sides – Real carbon fiber on top and bottom—no fiberglass inner liner or painted underhood
- Functional Airflow Management – Rear venting helps evacuate underhood pressure and heat
- UV-Stable Gloss Clear Coat – Resists yellowing and fading while highlighting the carbon weave
Technical Specifications
- Material: Aerospace-grade carbon fiber (double-sided wet carbon)
- Weight Savings: Lighter than OEM steel hood; savings vary by trim

Who This is For
This hood is built for serious 2015–2017 Mustang GT owners running aftermarket intake systems, forced induction, or drag-style builds. It’s perfect for:
- Cars with 2.3L Whipple or Cobra Jet-style intake manifolds
- Weight-conscious track or street builds
- Owners who want high-end, double-sided carbon fiber construction without compromise
If you’re after a hood that’s just as functional as it is show-ready, this is the move.

Please inspect the packaging and the products carefully upon receiving them, then accept the shipment and notate any damages and irregularities, such as crushed, torn, punctured, or broken parts on both the packaging and the product, on the freight bill or receipt in the driver’s presence. Buyer must retain all cartons, packing materials, and damaged products for the carrier’s damage inspector to inspect.

Discovery of damages after a clear delivery becomes the responsibility of the customer.
All damages must be notified to carrier and the dealer within 24 hours. In cases of damage with proper notation on receipt, the carrier will determine whether to pay for repair cost or replacement value of the damaged goods after damage inspection. Replacement value is the amount the buyer paid to the distributor and is not negotiable. All disputes about the settlement amount should be addressed with the carrier. Anderson Composites, under no circumstances, shall be liable for the damaged product or for subsequent settlement of the claim with the carrier.
