The AC-CP18FDMU radiator plate for the Ford Mustang is manufactured from 3K 2x2 twill carbon fiber using a vacuum-infused wet layup, delivering the iconic carbon weave with up to 50% weight savings over the factory steel panel. Precision-molded from the OEM panel for an exact body line match, this part delivers up to 50% weight savings over the factory component and installs using existing OEM attachment points with no cutting, drilling, or modification required. Anderson Composites has set the benchmark for carbon fiber exterior components for over a decade, and the AC-CP18FDMU reflects that heritage in construction, finish, and fitment accuracy.

What construction process does Anderson Composites use?Anderson Composites uses a vacuum-infused 3K 2x2 twill carbon fiber wet layup. Resin is drawn evenly through the fiber mat under vacuum pressure, producing a consistent resin-to-fiber ratio without voids.
Can this part be painted?Yes. Lightly sand the gel coat surface, apply a flexible composite primer, and finish with automotive basecoat and 2K clear coat.
Is this compatible with factory hardware?Yes. Anderson Composites designs every part to work with OEM fasteners, clips, and mounting brackets. No specialty hardware is required for standard installation.
What weight savings can I expect?Anderson Composites carbon fiber construction achieves up to 50% weight savings over the OEM panel. Combined with matching Anderson Composites hood, trunk lid, or other body components, the savings compound quickly into a meaningful performance gain across the entire build.
Does Anderson Composites offer a warranty?Yes. Anderson Composites provides a limited manufacturer warranty on materials and workmanship. Contact Anderson Composites directly for warranty terms and claim procedures specific to this part.
How do I maintain the finish on a carbon fiber exterior panel?The marine-grade gel coat with UV inhibitors is low-maintenance. Wash with pH-balanced soap, dry with a microfiber cloth, and apply a spray wax or ceramic coating periodically.
Will this fit a vehicle with aftermarket suspension or body modifications?Anderson Composites parts are molded to OEM exterior dimensions. Standard suspension or exhaust modifications do not affect bolt-on exterior panel fitment. Custom widebody kits or significant non-OEM body modifications may require verification before ordering.
