The AC-HRS20CHC8 hood vent for the Chevrolet Corvette is manufactured from pre-preg 3K 2x2 twill carbon fiber, autoclave-cured using a pre-preg layup cured in an autoclave under extreme heat and pressure, built with the same pre-preg autoclave process used in Formula 1, aerospace, and elite endurance motorsport, achieving up to 70% weight savings. Precision-molded from the OEM panel for an exact body line match, this part delivers up to 70% 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-HRS20CHC8 reflects that heritage in construction, finish, and fitment accuracy.
