Lightweight Carbon Fiber Decklid That Transforms the Rear of Your 2005-2009 Ford Mustang
The AC-TL0506FDMU is an Anderson Composites carbon fiber trunk lid built specifically for the 2005-2009 Ford Mustang, delivering the iconic carbon weave with up to 50% weight savings over the factory steel panel. Constructed from 3K 2x2 twill carbon fiber via a vacuum-infused wet layup, this decklid installs using your factory hinge bolts and latch hardware with no modification required. Up to 50% 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the AC-TL0506FDMU preserve factory trunk release and latch function?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 carbon fiber construction saves up to 50% over the factory steel panel. On most Mustang 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?The marine-grade gel coat with UV inhibitors is low-maintenance. Wash with pH-balanced car wash soap, dry with a microfiber cloth, and apply a spray wax or paint sealant periodically.
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?Yes. The gel coat surface accepts standard automotive paint. Sand, prime with a flexible composite primer, then apply basecoat and 2K clear coat.
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.

- Open the factory trunk and support the vehicle on a level surface
