The Raptor's hood tells you what the truck is before you see anything else — and the vent in the middle of it leaves the factory as painted plastic. This is Feral Auto's OEM+ carbon replacement for it.
Built from autoclaved 2x2 pre-preg dry carbon fiber, this hood vent and trim is a direct OEM replacement for the factory panel: same opening, same mounting points, same hardware. It gives the most visible panel on the truck a show-quality finish without altering the factory silhouette, finished with a polished automotive-grade clear coat with UV inhibitors built for constant, direct sun.
Pairs with the Carbon Fiber Fender Vents to carry the hood treatment into the flares.
Running a Raptor R? The R uses a different three-piece vent arrangement — see the Raptor R Hood Vent & Trim instead. This part will not fit it.
Why Autoclave Pre-Preg Dry Carbon Fiber
Pre-preg carbon arrives with the resin already impregnated into the weave at a controlled ratio, so no resin is added by hand during layup — that is what makes it dry carbon. Curing it under heat and pressure in an autoclave consolidates the laminate and drives out trapped air that would otherwise show as flaws in the finished surface. Wet layup and vacuum infusion add resin at the mold, and the result varies with whoever laid it.
Nothing on this truck sees more direct sun than the top of the hood, and nothing gets looked at more closely. It sits flat to the sky all day, and it is the first panel anyone walks up to. That combination is exactly where a poorly consolidated laminate gives itself away — so this is the part where the process is worth paying for.

Installation Notes
This is a direct replacement, not a modification. The vent fits the factory hood opening on your existing hardware — nothing to drill, nothing to cut, nothing permanent. No additional hardware is included, and none is required.
We recommend professional installation. Minor adjustments during fitment are a normal part of installing any carbon fiber body component and are not an indication of a defect. Carbon fiber parts are finished by hand, so slight variations in weave alignment and clear coat between individual pieces are normal.
Current Lead Time
Current estimated lead time is approximately 65-75 business days from order to ship.
