Anderson Composites AC-HD16FDFO-TM Type-TM Carbon Fiber Hood Gloss Finish

The Anderson Composites AC-HD16FDFO-TM is a Type-TM carbon fiber hood engineered for the Ford Focus RS and Focus ST. Constructed using Anderson Composites' proprietary vacuum infusion process with 3K, 2×2 twill weave carbon fiber cloth, this hood delivers an outstanding fabric-to-resin ratio that maximizes stiffness and structural strength while minimizing weight.

The manufacturing process involves spraying a coat of resin onto the mold, laying sheets of carbon fiber fabric across it, applying a final resin coat, and then vacuum-sealing the assembly to cure. Once cured, the part is trimmed and finished with a polished gel coat for a deep, high-gloss wet-look finish — no additional clear coat required.

Key Features:

• Vacuum infused 3K, 2×2 twill weave carbon fiber construction
• High-gloss gel coat finish — no additional clear coat needed
• Fiberglass skeleton bonded to the underside for added strength and rigidity
• Integrated cooling vents for improved underhood airflow
• Removable and paintable mesh screen insert
• Mounts using original OE hardware for a clean, factory-style installation
• Approximate weight: 18.2 lbs

Installation Notes: Hood pins are required for safety. Do not install gas hood shocks, dampers, or struts. A heat shield is required. Modifications may be necessary for correct fitment of OE windshield washer spray nozzles and fluid lines. Always close the hood carefully — slamming or dropping a composite hood may cause cracking.

Anderson Composites brings over 20 years of carbon fiber fabrication expertise to every component, with meticulous quality inspection ensuring consistent weave patterns and exceptional fit. The AC-HD16FDFO-TM is a proven performance upgrade for drivers seeking a lighter, race-inspired appearance without sacrificing durability.
