Built from 3K 2x2 twill carbon fiber via a vacuum-infused wet layup, this OEM-style direct replacement hood uses your existing hinge bolts and factory mounting points for a true bolt-on swap. No cutting, no drilling, and no body modification required. The AC-HD15DGCH-HM is the right call when you want a hood that performs as well as it looks, whether that means shaving weight for a track day or stepping up the street presence of your build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 3K 2x2 twill carbon fiber, vacuum-infused wet layup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: marine-grade gel coat with UV inhibitors, hand-polished to a gloss finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiberglass skeleton bonded to the underside for structural rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight savings: up to 50% vs. OEM steel hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHood style: OEM-style direct replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt-on installation using OEM hinge hardware and factory mounting points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHood pins required for all street and track driving applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOE gas struts not compatible, use a hood prop rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat shield transfer required during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTrim\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSee title\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDodge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChallenger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSee product title\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAC-HD15DGCH-HM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnderson Composites\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3K 2x2 twill carbon fiber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction Process\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003evacuum-infused wet layup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSurface Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003emarine-grade gel coat with UV inhibitors, hand-polished to a gloss finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight Savings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 50% vs. OEM steel hood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHood Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOem-Style Direct Replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect bolt-on, uses OEM hinge hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHood Pins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequired (not included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat Shield\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransfer from OEM hood (required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnderson Composites carbon fiber hood (AC-HD15DGCH-HM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM hinge hardware not included, reuses factory bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHood pins not included, purchase separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnderson Composites manufactures application-specific carbon fiber, fiberglass, and composite exterior components for performance vehicles.

Minor bump stop adjustments are normal during final fitment, but no structural body modification is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre hood pins required on a carbon fiber hood?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and Anderson Composites requires them. Carbon fiber hoods are significantly lighter than steel, which means aerodynamic lift at speed can overcome the factory latch. AeroCatch and Quic-Latch flush-mount systems are popular options that keep the look clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I reuse my OE gas struts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Anderson Composites strongly advises against reinstalling OE gas struts or dampers on any composite hood. The pressure these shocks apply can crack the panel over time. Use a hood prop rod instead, and always close the hood carefully by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a heat shield required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Transfer the OEM heat shield to the new hood during installation. If the hood style prevents a direct transfer, an aftermarket universal heat shield is available at most performance retailers. Never run a carbon fiber hood without heat protection between the panel and the engine bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtect fenders with moving blankets or foam pads before starting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the OE gas strut, windshield washer nozzle assembly, and hood insulation clips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith a partner, unbolt the OEM hood from the hinges and set it safely aside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest-fit the new hood on the hinges without tightening to verify alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransfer the OEM heat shield, enlarging mounting holes with a file or dremel as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransfer the windshield washer hose and frame to the new hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransfer the OEM striker from the factory hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt the hood to the hinges and adjust for even gap on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjust bump stops for proper height flush with the fender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall hood pins per the kit instructions before any driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose the hood carefully by hand, never slam or drop a composite panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Anderson Composites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42991503540303,"sku":"ANDAC-HD15DGCH-HM","price":2249.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1062\/7920\/files\/anderson-composites-andac-hd15dgch-hm-hoods-image-01.jpg?v=1788385944","url":"https:\/\/www.blackopsautoworks.com\/en-ca\/products\/anderson-composites-15-23-dodge-challenger-type-hm-carbon-fiber-hood","provider":"Black Ops Auto Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
