Seibon TS-Style Carbon Fibre Hood – 2014–2021 Toyota 4Runner (N280) | OEM Replacement | Gloss Finish

The Seibon TS-Style Carbon Fibre Hood for the 2014–2021 Toyota 4Runner (N280) is a direct OEM-replacement carbon fibre hood featuring Seibon's TS-Style design — a raised, vented centre profile that gives the 4Runner's front end a more aggressive, performance-inspired appearance while replacing the factory steel hood with a hand-crafted carbon fibre unit that reduces front-end weight. The Toyota 4Runner N280 is one of the most popular and capable body-on-frame SUVs in North America — a platform with a dedicated enthusiast community that values both off-road capability and exterior presence. Seibon's TS-Style carbon fibre hood is one of the most visually impactful single exterior modifications available for the N280 4Runner — transforming the front end appearance with a motorsport-inspired hood profile and the premium look of exposed carbon fibre weave. Seibon carbon fibre components are hand-crafted using a consistent weave pattern, exceptional carbon/resin ratio for high stiffness and strength, and a glossy clear coat finish that does not chip or flake. Every component is meticulously inspected before leaving Seibon's production facility.

Key Features:

• TS-Style design — Seibon's TS-Style hood features a raised, vented centre profile — a more aggressive, performance-inspired hood design that transforms the 4Runner's front end appearance compared to the factory flat hood
• Carbon fibre construction — hand-crafted carbon fibre replaces the factory steel hood — significant weight reduction at the front of the 4Runner for reduced front-end mass
• OEM replacement fitment — direct replacement for the factory N280 4Runner hood using the factory hinge and latch mounting points — no modification required for installation
• Consistent weave pattern — Seibon's production process ensures a consistent, uniform carbon fibre weave pattern across the entire hood surface
• Exceptional carbon/resin ratio — high carbon/resin ratio creates high product stiffness and extra strength without unnecessary resin weight
• Glossy clear coat finish — coated with a glossy clear coat that does not chip or flake — protecting the carbon fibre weave and maintaining the hood's appearance over time
• Seibon quality — over 20 years of carbon fibre production experience — every component meticulously inspected before shipping

TS-Style Design — The Hood Profile:

Seibon's TS-Style hood design features a raised centre section with integrated venting — a profile that references the functional hood designs used on performance and off-road vehicles where engine bay heat extraction and visual aggression are both priorities. On the 4Runner N280, the TS-Style hood's raised centre profile creates a more commanding, purposeful front end appearance that suits the 4Runner's rugged character while adding the premium visual element of exposed carbon fibre weave. The TS-Style is one of Seibon's most popular hood designs for truck and SUV platforms — a design that has proven itself in the enthusiast community for its balance of visual impact and clean execution.

Carbon Fibre on the 4Runner — Why It Works:

• Weight Reduction: Carbon fibre is significantly lighter than the factory steel hood — reducing front-end weight on a body-on-frame SUV where front-end mass affects handling balance and steering feel. For 4Runner builds focused on performance driving or weight reduction, a carbon fibre hood is one of the most effective single weight reduction modifications available.
• Visual Impact: The carbon fibre weave pattern and gloss finish transform the 4Runner's front end appearance — the TS-Style profile and carbon fibre construction create a premium, motorsport-inspired look that sets the build apart from factory and painted alternatives.
• 4Runner Community: The N280 4Runner has one of the most active and passionate enthusiast communities of any SUV — a platform where exterior modifications are a core part of the ownership experience. A Seibon TS-Style carbon fibre hood is a premium exterior upgrade that suits the 4Runner's performance and off-road character.

Installation Notes:

• Professional installation by an experienced body shop strongly recommended — hood replacement requires correct hinge alignment, correct gap adjustment at the fenders and front bumper, and correct latch adjustment for safe hood operation at speed
• Verify correct hood latch engagement before driving — a hood that is not correctly latched is a serious safety hazard at speed. Verify that the primary latch and safety catch both engage correctly before the first drive.
• Carbon fibre requires UV protection — apply a quality UV-resistant clear coat or carbon fibre sealant to protect the carbon fibre weave from UV degradation. Unprotected carbon fibre will yellow and degrade over time with UV exposure.
• Do not use abrasive polishes or compounds on the carbon fibre surface — use only carbon fibre-safe detailing products
• Inspect the hood for shipping damage before installation — document any damage before accepting delivery and contact Straight Six Imports immediately if damage is found
• Hood prop rod or aftermarket hood struts may be required — verify compatibility with the factory hood prop system before installation
