The AC-TL20CHC8-DRY is an Anderson Composites dry carbon trunk lid built specifically for the Chevrolet Corvette, built with the same pre-preg autoclave process used in Formula 1, aerospace, and elite endurance motorsport, achieving up to 70% weight savings. Constructed from pre-preg 3K 2x2 twill carbon fiber, autoclave-cured via a pre-preg layup cured in an autoclave under extreme heat and pressure, this decklid installs using your factory hinge bolts and latch hardware with no modification required. Up to 70% weight savings over the OEM steel panel translates directly into improved front-to-rear balance and power-to-weight ratio, the kind of gain that costs nothing in drivability and pays back every time the car moves.

Yes. The decklid is built around the OEM latch and release geometry. Factory power trunk release, key fob function, and interior handle all operate normally with this lid installed.
Can I mount a factory or aftermarket spoiler on this trunk lid?Yes. Anderson Composites preserves factory spoiler mounting provisions. OEM spoilers transfer directly, and Anderson Composites' own carbon spoilers are designed to pair with this trunk lid for a fully coordinated rear setup.
What actual weight savings can I expect?Anderson Composites dry carbon construction saves up to 70% over the factory steel panel. On most Corvette platforms the OEM steel decklid weighs between 20 and 40 pounds, so the reduction in high-mounted rear mass is meaningful for both handling balance and power-to-weight ratio.
Does this trunk lid work with my backup camera?On vehicles where the backup camera is in the rear bumper or license plate area there is no conflict. On vehicles with a camera integrated into the factory trunk lid, verify the camera mounting location relative to the new lid before ordering.
How do I maintain the finish?Keep dry carbon out of prolonged direct UV exposure when parked. Wipe with a microfiber cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive polishes and automatic car washes with stiff brushes.
Is this trunk lid street legal?Yes. It is a direct OEM-style replacement panel and does not alter any safety systems. It is fully street legal in all 50 states. California residents should note the Prop 65 disclosure at the bottom of this page.
Can the decklid be painted?The dry carbon surface can be painted with a flexible composite primer and compatible topcoat, though most owners leave the natural matte finish.
Does Anderson Composites warranty trunk lids?Yes. A limited manufacturer warranty covers materials and workmanship defects. Impact damage, improper installation, and damage from slamming the lid are excluded. Contact Anderson Composites for full warranty documentation.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead and phthalates, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
