Anderson Composites Carbon Fiber hoods will not warp or change shape based on environmental conditions. We have never received a return or noted this happening. We do advise you use some type of heat shield on the underside of the hood. Many customers do not use a double sided tape or other style heat shield and do not have issues; however it is recommended.

Nice hoods. Are you sure you drive a 2016 Z28?

Duraflex is not carbon fiber its fiberglass btw...

Carbon Creations is our carbon fiber line and we have the industry leading warranty on our carbon fiber parts

I wouldn't buy anything from them again. I ordered a Carbon fiber splitter through Phastek . I had watched a vid on ED's website saying how they nicely packaged there products in foam and a box to protect the part. I thought great. When the splitter arrived it was wrapped in foam and packing tape. When I got the packing material off it, it looked like someone had used it as a bench seat. All kinds of stress cracks in the center of it and also some chips missing out of a couple of edges.Also the hardware kit it came with was 4 bolts . WTH . Needless to say it got returned to Phastek ,got my money back and ordered a ASC T5 splitter which is fiberglass and came in a nice box to protect it.

If you buy something from Extreme Dimension I hope your experience is/was better than mine . I've been holding this in for a few months . Buyer be aware.

Ive run the VIS AMS hood in Arizona for over 4 years in heat up to 130 degree's no issues with warping.

Only thing to worry about from any carbon fiber part is if the manufacturer puts on a clearcoat over the epoxy/resin with a UV blocker in it.

High end manufacturers do this by default, midgrade and lower don't. However this doesn't mean its not good to go midgrade or lower, you just need to make sure it gets it or the epoxy/resin will deteriorate.
