ABC Lightweight F/G Hood Flat Red

The ABC Lightweight F/G Hood Flat Red is a fiberglass replacement hood designed for performance builders and track-focused enthusiasts who prioritize weight reduction without compromising durability. This flat-profile hood is engineered to enhance vehicle dynamics, making it suitable for autocross, road racing, and high-performance street applications.

Constructed from fiberglass, this hood offers a balance of affordability and strength, making it a viable option for both amateur racers and experienced mechanics. Weighing just 9.55 pounds, it provides significant mass reduction compared to OEM steel hoods, which typically weigh between 35 and 50 pounds depending on the vehicle platform. The flat design aims to reduce aerodynamic drag and hood lift at highway speeds, potentially improving stability when paired with a properly tuned suspension.

This hood is particularly beneficial for builders aiming to optimize weight distribution in the front axle, enhancing overall handling characteristics. The Flat Red finish is applied to factory specifications, ensuring a consistent and professional appearance for both street-legal and competition-focused builds. Regular maintenance, including occasional waxing and inspection for minor stress cracks, is recommended to maintain the hood's integrity over time.
