Seibon OEM-Style Carbon Fibre Hood - 2012-2013 Hyundai Veloster 2-Door Hatchback (HD1213HYVEL-OE)

Transform your Veloster's front end with the Seibon OEM-style carbon fibre hood. The HD1213HYVEL-OE replicates the factory Veloster hood's lines and profile in hand-crafted carbon fibre — delivering a significant weight reduction over the factory steel hood while maintaining the clean, stock appearance that suits street builds, daily drivers, and show cars alike. Finished in Seibon's signature high-gloss clear coat and backed by over 20 years of carbon fibre manufacturing expertise.

Note: OEM-style profile — replicates factory hood lines in carbon fibre. Verify fitment for your specific Veloster configuration (2-door hatchback, 2012-2013 model years) before ordering. Professional installation recommended for proper fit and finish.

Key Features:

• OEM-style profile — factory hood lines replicated in carbon fibre
• Hand-crafted carbon fibre construction
• Consistent weave pattern throughout
• High-gloss clear coat finish — chip and flake resistant
• Exceptional carbon/resin ratio for high stiffness and strength
• Direct fit for 2012-2013 Hyundai Veloster 2-door hatchback
• Significant weight reduction over factory steel hood
• 35 lbs

Performance Benefits:

• Weight Reduction: Carbon fibre is significantly lighter than the factory steel hood, reducing front-end weight and improving the vehicle's overall weight distribution and power-to-weight ratio
• Reduced Unsprung/Rotating Mass: A lighter hood reduces the mass the front suspension must manage, contributing to improved handling response
• High Stiffness: Seibon's optimized carbon/resin ratio produces a hood with high structural stiffness — resisting flex and maintaining its shape under aerodynamic loads at speed
• OEM Appearance: The OEM-style profile maintains the Veloster's factory styling — the carbon fibre weave provides visual interest without the aggressive styling of a vented or widebody hood
• Durable Finish: High-gloss clear coat provides UV resistance and a durable surface that resists chipping and flaking in normal driving conditions

Seibon OEM Style — What It Means:

Seibon offers their carbon fibre hoods in multiple styles — OEM (factory profile), vented, and other performance-oriented designs. The OEM style replicates the factory hood's exact profile, contours, and lines in carbon fibre, providing the weight and material benefits of carbon fibre without changing the vehicle's exterior appearance. From a distance, an OEM-style carbon fibre hood is visually indistinguishable from the factory steel hood — the carbon fibre weave is only visible up close or in certain lighting conditions.

This makes the OEM style the preferred choice for Veloster owners who want the weight reduction and premium material of carbon fibre while maintaining a clean, understated appearance — whether for a street build that doesn't want an aggressive look, a show car where the carbon weave detail is the visual statement, or a daily driver where the weight reduction is the primary goal without changing the car's styling.

Seibon Carbon Fibre Quality:

Seibon Carbon is one of the most established carbon fibre body component manufacturers in the aftermarket, with over 20 years of experience producing carbon fibre hoods, trunks, spoilers, and other components for a wide range of vehicles. Their manufacturing process uses a consistent weave pattern throughout each component, an optimized carbon/resin ratio that maximizes stiffness and strength without excess resin weight, and a high-gloss clear coat finish that provides UV protection and a durable surface. Each component is individually inspected before shipping.

The consistent weave pattern is a key quality indicator for carbon fibre components — lower-quality carbon fibre products often show weave inconsistencies, resin-rich areas, or surface defects that are visible through the clear coat. Seibon's manufacturing process and quality control are designed to produce components with the consistent, uniform weave appearance that carbon fibre enthusiasts expect from a premium product.

Hyundai Veloster — Platform Context:

The first-generation Hyundai Veloster (2012-2017) is a unique three-door hatchback with an asymmetric door configuration — one door on the driver's side and two doors on the passenger side. The Veloster's distinctive styling and turbocharged engine options (particularly the Veloster Turbo) made it a popular platform for performance and appearance modification. Carbon fibre hood upgrades are a popular modification for Veloster owners who want to reduce front-end weight and add a premium material upgrade to their build, and the Seibon OEM-style hood is one of the most popular choices for owners who want carbon fibre without changing the car's factory profile.

Why Seibon?

Seibon Carbon is a trusted name in aftermarket carbon fibre body components, with a reputation for consistent quality, correct fitment, and a wide range of vehicle applications. Their OEM-style hoods are a popular choice for enthusiasts who want genuine carbon fibre quality from a manufacturer with proven experience — not a low-cost import with inconsistent weave, poor fitment, or a clear coat that yellows and peels. For Veloster owners who want a carbon fibre hood they can be confident in, Seibon is a benchmark choice.

Perfect For:

• 2012-2013 Hyundai Veloster owners wanting a carbon fibre hood upgrade with factory-matching OEM profile
• Veloster builds wanting front-end weight reduction without changing the car's exterior styling
• Veloster show cars wanting the premium appearance of genuine carbon fibre weave in an OEM-profile hood
• Veloster Turbo performance builds wanting to reduce front-end weight as part of a broader weight reduction program
• Anyone wanting Seibon's quality OEM-style carbon fibre hood for their 2012-2013 Hyundai Veloster

Perfect For: 2012-2013 Hyundai Veloster 2-door hatchback owners seeking Seibon OEM-style carbon fibre hood for front-end weight reduction, premium carbon fibre appearance, and factory-matching profile.

Pro Tip: Before installing a carbon fibre hood, store it in a temperature-stable environment for 24 hours to allow it to acclimate — carbon fibre can expand and contract slightly with temperature changes, and fitting adjustments made at extreme temperatures may not hold correctly once the hood reaches normal operating temperature. Fit and adjust at a moderate ambient temperature for the most accurate panel gap results.
