About this Manufacturer:
Your truck might have the altitude, but does it have the attitude? Hannemann Fiberglass makes it happen with its strong and lightweight body panels. The company's high-flare fenders are perfect for giving your oversized wheels and tires all the room they need to travel along with your lifted suspension, giving your truck a tough look in the process. Hannemann also builds some pretty hardcore scooped hoods as well, which would even lend some aggressive styling cues to those of us with lowered trucks, as well as the off-roadies. Hannemann is a highly respected fiberglass manufacturer in the industry, and even makes an accurate fiberglass reproduction 1932 Ford body in roadster and chopped coupe configurations, so cutting corners isn't an option with Hannemann.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why buy a fiberglass hood?
Fiberglass hoods are a fantastic way to customize the appearance of your truck. There are several different styles available, and they all can change the look of your car instantly. These hoods should be painted to match the color of your truck, and are normally lighter than your factory hood and therefore better for performance.
Can fiberglass hoods help your vehicle's performance at all?
Most fiberglass hoods are substantially lighter than the factory hood, which would decrease weight and therefore increase performance and make acceleration and braking quicker. Some fiberglass hood manufacturer's also provide optional "functional" air induction kits as an option to be purchased with the hood. The kits, when installed, direct incoming cold air that travels through the hood vent directly to your air box, thereby increasing horsepower and making the hood functional. Only a few hood manufacturers offer a the kit that makes the hood functional.
How do you install a fiberglass hood?
Depending on the manufacturer, fiberglass hoods are often close to OEM fit, which means you simply unbolt your factory hood and replacing it with the custom hood.
The hood I'm considering buying from Andy's is vented and has openings in it that appear to expose it to rain. Should I be concerned about that? Will it be harmful to my vehicle if rain goes through those vents into my engine bay? Is there a way to protect against that from happening?
Adding guards could potentially defeat the purpose of a vented hood, which is to help cool your engine bay. Some customers do get creative and add their own diverters under the hood for a custom solution to the perceived problem, but you would have to figure out how to attach them and whether there's room under the hood in the first place. That being said, we have never heard of any problems running a vented hood as-is, and we've done it ourselves for many years without any issues to speak of.
