Seibon HD0708NS350-VT VT-Style Carbon Fiber Hood Nissan 350Z

The Seibon HD0708NS350-VT is a VT-style carbon fiber hood engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the Nissan 350Z (Z33). Constructed entirely from premium-grade carbon fiber, this hood delivers a significant weight reduction of up to 50% compared to the factory steel panel, making it an ideal upgrade for performance builds, track days, and show cars alike.

Each hood is hand-crafted using a single-piece carbon fiber sheet, ensuring a consistent, uninterrupted weave pattern free from the broken lines associated with multi-sheet construction. The carbon sheet is integrated directly into the mold — rather than wrapped around a skeleton — for superior structural integrity. An optimized carbon/resin ratio further enhances panel stiffness and overall strength.

For a show-ready finish straight out of the box, the hood is coated with a UV-protected glossy clear coat that resists chipping and flaking. No painting is required. Seibon backs the clear coat with a 6-month limited warranty covering heavy cloudiness, bubbling, or significant color shift.

Key Features:

• VT-style design with aggressive, aerodynamic profile
• 100% carbon fiber construction — up to 50% lighter than the OEM hood
• Single-piece carbon sheet for a flawless, consistent weave pattern
• High carbon/resin ratio for exceptional stiffness and strength
• UV-protected glossy clear coat — chip and flake resistant
• Accepts factory hinges, latches, and windshield washer sprayers for bolt-on fitment
• Rigorously inspected through a multi-step quality control process
• 6-month limited clear coat warranty

Installation Notes: Professional installation by a technician familiar with aftermarket carbon fiber components is recommended. Seibon advises against reinstalling stock hood springs or struts due to the reduced weight of this panel, and recommends installing hood pins as a safety measure. To protect the finish from engine heat, transferring the OEM heat shield or installing an aftermarket heat shield is also recommended.
