Product Overview
Unleash aggressive muscle-car styling and serious performance capability with this 5-Inch Cowl Raised ZR1 Style Carbon Fiber Hood, designed specifically for 2004–2006 Pontiac GTO models. Engineered as a full replacement carbon fiber hood (not an overlay), this upgrade is ideal for high-horsepower LS builds that demand additional engine bay clearance, improved heat evacuation, and a race-ready visual presence.
Constructed entirely from real 3K 2×2 twill weave carbon fiber using advanced dry pre-preg autoclave technology, this hood delivers exceptional strength-to-weight performance, precise fitment, and show-quality weave clarity. The massive 5-inch raised cowl center section provides the vertical space required for tall intake manifolds, carb hats, superchargers, and turbocharger plumbing—making it a top choice for drag, track, and high-output street builds.
Beyond clearance, the raised cowl profile promotes efficient heat evacuation, helping reduce under-hood temperatures and heat soak during extended high-RPM use. Both the exterior and underside are finished in a deep-gloss, UV-resistant automotive clear coat, ensuring long-term protection against fading, yellowing, and environmental wear—perfect for daily drivers and show cars alike.
Designed to retain OEM hinges, latch, safety catch, and panel gaps, this hood installs as a direct bolt-on with no drilling, cutting, or trimming required. Whether you’re building a boosted GTO for competition or elevating the aesthetics of a street-driven classic, this cowl-raised carbon hood delivers functional performance with unmistakable attitude. Professional installation is strongly recommended; installation manual is not included.
FITMENT Fits ALL 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO Models
Key Features
-
Vehicle-Specific Fitment (2004–2006 Pontiac GTO)
Precision-molded exclusively for GTO coupes; not compatible with non-GTO or Holden platform variants. -
Massive 5-Inch Raised Cowl for Maximum Clearance
Ideal for tall intake manifolds, carbureted setups, Roots-style blowers, centrifugal superchargers, or turbo systems requiring extra vertical space. -
Functional Heat Evacuation
Raised center channel encourages hot air to exit the engine bay, reducing heat soak and improving cooling efficiency during drag passes, dyno runs, or track sessions. -
Full Dry Pre-Preg 3K 2×2 Twill Carbon Fiber Construction
Autoclave-cured, motorsport-grade carbon fiber throughout—no fiberglass backing or composite layers—for superior strength, lighter weight, and flawless weave. -
True Double-Sided Carbon with Gloss Finish
Carbon fiber on both top and underside with matching gloss finish—ideal for hood-open displays and premium show builds. -
Direct Bolt-On Installation Using OEM Hardware
Retains factory hinges, latch, safety catch, washer nozzle location, and rubber stops; no drilling or cutting required. -
Reinforced Inner Skeleton
Integrated structural bracing minimizes flex, flutter, and vibration at speed while maintaining low panel weight. -
High-Gloss UV-Resistant Clear Coat
Multi-layer clear coat with UV inhibitors protects against fading, yellowing, and oxidation for long-term durability. -
OEM Panel Gap and Body Line Accuracy
Molded to match factory fender contours, grille overlap, and bumper clearance for clean, symmetrical alignment. -
Front-End Weight Reduction
Carbon fiber construction reduces weight compared to OEM steel hoods, improving handling response and power-to-weight ratio. -
Aggressive ZR1-Inspired Styling
Bold, race-ready appearance that complements LS turbo, ProCharged, or high-boost builds needing both clearance and visual impact. -
Professional Installation Recommended
Carbon fiber panels require careful handling, alignment, and torque control; installation manual not included.
