Seibon VS-Style Carbon Fibre Hood – 2015+ Subaru WRX / STI (VA) | OEM Replacement Carbon Fibre Hood

The Seibon VS-Style Carbon Fibre Hood for the 2015+ Subaru WRX and STI (VA chassis) is a direct OEM-replacement carbon fibre hood in Seibon's VS-Style design — replacing the factory steel hood with a lightweight, hand-crafted carbon fibre unit that reduces front-end weight and transforms the VA WRX/STI's front end appearance. The VS-Style hood features a vented hood design with styling elements that complement the VA WRX/STI's aggressive, performance-oriented proportions — a purposeful upgrade that suits both the WRX's street performance character and the STI's more aggressive build direction. 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:

• VS-Style design — Seibon's VS-Style hood profile with vented styling elements — a purposeful, performance-oriented hood design that complements the VA WRX/STI's aggressive front end
• Carbon fibre construction — hand-crafted carbon fibre replaces the factory steel hood — significant weight reduction over the factory unit for improved front-end weight distribution
• Consistent weave pattern — Seibon's production process ensures a consistent, uniform carbon fibre weave pattern across the entire hood surface — a quality indicator that distinguishes Seibon from lower-quality carbon fibre alternatives
• Exceptional carbon/resin ratio — Seibon's production process achieves a high carbon/resin ratio — creating 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
• OEM replacement fitment — direct replacement for the factory VA WRX/STI hood using the factory hinge and latch mounting points — no modification required for installation
• Seibon quality — over 20 years of carbon fibre production experience — every component meticulously inspected before shipping

VS-Style — Hood Design:

The VS-Style is Seibon's vented hood design for the VA WRX/STI — featuring hood vents and styling elements that give the VA's front end a more aggressive, more purposeful appearance than the factory hood. The vented design references the functional hood vent aesthetic of performance and motorsport vehicles — a visual upgrade that suits the WRX's street performance character and the STI's more aggressive build direction. For VA WRX/STI owners who want a carbon fibre hood with more visual presence than a flat OEM-style replacement, the VS-Style is the correct choice.

Why Carbon Fibre Hood on the VA WRX/STI?

• Weight Reduction: Carbon fibre is significantly lighter than the factory steel hood — reducing front-end weight and improving the VA's front-to-rear weight distribution. For performance-oriented WRX and STI builds, reducing hood weight is one of the most impactful single exterior upgrades available for weight reduction.
• Visual Impact: A carbon fibre hood is one of the most visually impactful exterior upgrades available — the carbon fibre weave pattern is immediately recognizable and transforms the front end's appearance. The VS-Style's vented design adds visual aggression that complements the VA WRX/STI's performance character.
• VA Platform: The 2015+ Subaru WRX and STI (VA chassis) have a strong aftermarket following and a wide range of exterior modification options. A Seibon VS-Style carbon fibre hood is a premium exterior upgrade that sets VA builds apart from the factory appearance while maintaining the correct OEM-replacement fitment that a quality carbon fibre hood requires.

Installation Notes:

• Professional installation by an experienced body shop strongly recommended — hood replacement requires correct hinge alignment, correct gap adjustment at the fenders and windshield, and correct latch adjustment for safe hood operation
• Carbon fibre hoods require correct latch engagement and secondary safety catch function before driving — verify that the hood latch engages fully and the safety catch operates 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
