Product Overview
Fits 2016-2019 Cadillac CTS-V Models Only (Does NOT Fit Standard CTS).
Transform the front-end stance, track aesthetic, and cooling performance of your 3rd-generation Cadillac sedan with this OEM V Style Exposed Carbon Fiber Front Engine Hood Cover. Custom-engineered specifically for 2016–2019 Cadillac CTS-V sedan models (does NOT fit standard CTS), this full replacement hood swaps out heavy stock metal panels for authentic track-inspired carbon fiber craftsmanship.
Motorsport-Grade Exposed 3K Twill Carbon Fiber Construction: Manufactured using high-density 3K 2x2 twill weave exposed carbon fiber composite, cured under heat and pressure to deliver maximum tensile strength and extreme thermal stability. By shaving substantial weight off the front axle compared to factory metal hoods, it optimizes front-to-rear weight distribution and lowers center-of-gravity mass for enhanced handling response.
Integrated Functional Heat Extractor Vent & High-Gloss UV Clear Coat: Features an OEM V-style integrated center heat extractor cowl with a mesh grille insert that actively channels trapped engine bay heat outward to prevent heat soak during aggressive driving. Sealed beneath a deep UV-resistant high-gloss clear coat topcoat that guards against sun fading, oxidation, and atmospheric wear while showcasing the weave depth.
Precision 1:1 OEM Replica Integration: Scanned directly from 3rd-gen CTS-V chassis CAD data to ensure precise alignment along fender, headlight, and front grille seams. Features a reinforced inner composite skeleton that accepts factory hood hinges, safety latch mechanisms, gas struts, and washer nozzles for a direct panel swap.
