Product Overview
Transform the appearance and cooling performance of your Pontiac GTO with this ZR1 Cowl Raised Style Carbon Fiber Front Bumper Vented Hood Cover, engineered specifically for 2004–2006 Pontiac GTO models. Drawing inspiration from the legendary C6 ZR1 Corvette, this hood delivers an aggressive raised cowl profile paired with a functional center heat extractor—perfect for LS-powered GTO builds that demand both performance and show-quality aesthetics.
This is a full replacement hood, not a skin or overlay. It is constructed entirely from 100% dry pre-preg 3K 2×2 twill weave real carbon fiber, including both the exterior skin and the underside structure. Autoclave-cured for maximum strength and minimal weight, the hood significantly reduces front-end mass compared to the factory steel hood while improving engine bay heat evacuation through its integrated middle vent.
The raised cowl design not only adds a bold motorsport presence but also provides additional engine bay clearance, making it ideal for high-rise intake manifolds, superchargers, turbo piping, or upgraded strut braces. To ensure real-world usability, the hood features a built-in under-hood water tray / splash panel system with molded drain channels that safely redirect rainwater or wash water away from critical engine components—making it suitable for daily-driven and weather-exposed vehicles.
Finished in a high-gloss, UV-resistant clear coat, both the exterior and underside are show-ready straight out of the box. OEM hinge, latch, safety catch, and strut mounting points are pre-molded for a true bolt-on installation with factory-like panel gaps and alignment.
Quick Compatibility:
Fits ALL 2004–2006 Pontiac GTO models (Coupe only).
Key Features
ZR1-Inspired Raised Cowl & Center Vent Design
Aggressive cowl profile based on the iconic Corvette ZR1, featuring a sculpted center dome with an integrated heat extractor for improved airflow and cooling efficiency.
Functional Middle Heat Extractor
Center vent evacuates high-pressure hot air from the engine bay, reducing heat soak during spirited driving, drag racing, or forced-induction applications.
Integrated Water Drain & Splash Panel System
Built-in under-hood water tray channels rain and wash water away from sensitive components, maintaining functionality in real-world driving conditions.
100% Dry Pre-Preg 3K 2×2 Twill Carbon Fiber
Aerospace-grade pre-preg carbon fiber with autoclave curing delivers superior strength, lightweight performance, and flawless weave consistency—no fiberglass backing or composite layers.
Double-Sided Carbon Fiber Construction
Both the exterior surface and underside structure are carbon fiber, providing exceptional visual impact and structural rigidity.
High-Gloss UV-Protected Clear Coat
Multi-layer automotive clear coat resists UV damage, yellowing, oxidation, and fading for long-term durability.
Direct Bolt-On OEM Fitment
Installs using factory hood hinges, latch, safety catch, and gas struts with no cutting, trimming, or drilling required.
Improved Engine Bay Clearance
Raised cowl design provides extra vertical space for aftermarket performance upgrades without hood interference.
Front-End Weight Reduction
Significantly lighter than the factory steel hood, improving weight distribution, acceleration, and overall vehicle dynamics.
OEM-Accurate Panel Alignment
Precision-molded to match factory fender lines, bumper contours, and hood gaps for seamless integration.
Show-Ready Inside & Out
Gloss finish extends to the underside—ideal for hood-up displays, show cars, and detailed engine bay builds.
Designed for Performance & Show Builds
Perfect for LS-powered GTOs running high-heat setups, drag configurations, or full carbon exterior themes.
