The Ford Racing M-16612-AECJ Cobra Jet Carbon Fiber Hood is a premium upgrade designed specifically for the 2018-2019 Ford Mustang, inspired by the iconic 50th Anniversary Cobra Jet race car. Crafted from high-quality carbon fiber, this hood delivers a striking combination of lightweight construction and aggressive styling. The distinctive power dome not only adds a bold visual presence but also provides crucial clearance for larger engine components, making it ideal for performance enthusiasts seeking both form and function. Designed exclusively for off-road use, this hood requires hood pins for secure attachment and necessitates the removal of windshield wipers during installation. While it cannot be paired with gas strut assist hood lift kits and does not include seals, it remains an exceptional choice for those looking to enhance their Mustang's race-inspired aesthetic and improve overall vehicle weight distribution.
