Construction & Design

The Seibon DV Style hood is meticulously crafted from high-quality carbon fiber sheets that are layered and vacuum-infused to ensure uniform strength and minimal weight. The shaved design is achieved through precise CNC machining, removing vents and other features to produce a sleek, smooth surface that enhances the vehicle's aerodynamic profile. The hood features a high-gloss, UV-resistant clear coat that not only highlights the distinctive weave pattern of the carbon fiber but also provides excellent protection against environmental elements such as UV rays, moisture, and debris.

The lightweight nature of the carbon fiber material significantly reduces the hood's weight compared to the OEM steel or fiberglass counterparts, contributing to improved vehicle dynamics. The construction process emphasizes durability, ensuring that the hood maintains its structural integrity under various driving conditions. The fitment is engineered for a direct bolt-on installation, utilizing factory mounting points and hardware for a hassle-free upgrade.
