The AC-CP15FDMU radiator plate for the 2015-2017 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-CP15FDMU reflects that heritage in construction, finish, and fitment accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this require drilling or modification to install?
No. Anderson Composites molds every part from the OEM component so the mounting points are factory-exact. The radiator plate installs using existing attachment locations without permanent body modification.
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.
Installation Instructions
- Mask surrounding paint with tape or moving blankets to protect the existing finish
- Remove the factory radiator plate by releasing all OEM fasteners and clips
- Clean all mounting surfaces to remove adhesive residue and debris
- Test-fit the AC-CP15FDMU to confirm alignment before final installation
- Secure using factory fasteners and any supplemental adhesive appropriate for the part type
- Inspect all gaps and body line continuity before driving

Shop Anderson Composites hoods, fenders, decklids, splitters, spoilers, diffusers and exterior trim at Black Ops Auto Works. Compare carbon-fiber and fiberglass components by exact vehicle application, body configuration, finish and manufacturer part number. A similar appearance does not establish compatibility with another trim, bumper or body width. Hoods, Fenders and Replacement Panels Identify the exact hood or panel design, construction and finished surfaces before ordering. Single-sided and double-sided carbon construction differ, and a visible carbon finish is a different choice from a panel intended for paint. Check hinge and latch arrangements, hood-pin requirements, vent clearance, heat shielding and any factory components that must transfer. Compare stated weights for the exact part rather than assuming every composite panel offers the same reduction.
