Mercedes-Benz W205 (2014-2021) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Plexi-Vented Hood
Engineered for Mercedes-Benz W205 C-Class (2014-2021) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Plexi-Vented Hood is a show-quality carbon hood with a central clear acrylic (plexi) inspection panel that reveals the engine bay. Made to factory-spec tolerances by leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this hood bolts directly to OEM hinges and latch hardware.
Unlike the solid carbon hood, the central clear plexi panel showcases the M276 V6 biturbo, M177 V8 biturbo, or other W205 engine bays, ideal for show cars and concours-style builds. The acrylic panel is UV-protected and scratch-resistant.
Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon is noticeably lighter than the OEM steel hood.
