Seibon HD9698HDCV-TS TS-Style Carbon Fiber Hood

The Seibon HD9698HDCV-TS is a TS-style carbon fiber hood crafted from premium 3K 2x2 twill weave carbon fiber, delivering a significant weight reduction over the factory steel hood while adding an aggressive, race-inspired look. Built to exacting standards, this carbon fiber hood features a one-piece carbon sheet construction for a uniform, consistent weave pattern across the entire surface.

A fiberglass skeleton is bonded to the underside of the hood for added rigidity and structural support, finished in matte black enamel. Seibon's optimized carbon-to-resin ratio ensures exceptional stiffness and long-term durability, making this hood as capable on the track as it is on the street.

Key Features:

• 3K 2x2 Twill Weave Carbon Fiber — Premium-grade material for a consistent, show-quality weave pattern
• Glossy Clear Coat Finish — UV-resistant coating that resists chipping and flaking; no painting required
• Fiberglass Underside Skeleton — Bonded reinforcement structure adds strength and support
• Optimized Carbon/Resin Ratio — Engineered for high stiffness and superior impact resistance
• Significant Weight Savings — Standard carbon fiber construction offers up to 50% weight reduction vs. OEM steel hoods
• Vented TS-Style Design — Functional styling promotes improved airflow and heat extraction from the engine bay
• OEM Hardware Compatible — Reuses existing mounting hardware for straightforward installation
• Multi-Step Quality Inspection — Every unit is inspected before leaving the factory for fitment and finish quality

Seibon recommends replacing stock hood shocks, dampers, or struts with units appropriate for a lighter aftermarket hood, as OEM mechanisms may prevent proper closing or cause stress damage due to the reduced hood weight. For long-term appearance, use a heat shield under the hood and apply wax as needed to protect the clear coat finish.
