Carbon Fiber Mustang Hood

A hood originally meant a head covering either attached to a cloak or a coat or even sometimes made as a separate garment. In the earlier years of car manufacturing a car hood resembled in shape a garment hood. It no longer does so. Actually it has undergone many changes. Different materials have been used for making a car hood. These are steel, aluminum, glass fiber, or carbon fiber.

The function of the car hood remains the same. It protects the engine and its adjacent machinery of your Mustang car. It has to be opened and closed on some occasions for servicing of the engine. It has hinges and latches for this purpose. A car hood has to be strong. Carbon fiber has the advantage that despite being light it is quite strong. Being light is also advantageous. The overall weight of the car is reduced if you use a carbon fiber Mustang hood. As a consequence lesser power is required for driving a car. This results in economy of running expenses. The carbon fiber hood is, therefore, becoming more and more acceptable. Since a car hood is located just above the front wheels, the weight on front wheels is much less if a carbon fiber hood is used. It gives better balance to the car and driving becomes easier.

Secondly, a car owner can also make a style statement with a carbon fiber Mustang hood. Carbon fiber can be designed in a variety of shapes. The car can be given a look as per the owner’s choice, whether it is a racing car look or an aggressive look. Carbon fiber hood is available in a number of colors. If you do not like any of the colors, you can have it painted as per your choice. The hood can have vents to allow the outside air to cool the engine. A cooler engine is more efficient than a hot engine.
