Seibon TSII-Style Carbon Fibre Hood – 2017-2020 Honda Civic Type-R (FK8) | Vented Style | Gloss Finish (HD17HDCVR-TSII)
Seibon TSII-Style Carbon Fibre Hood – 2017–2020 Honda Civic Type-R (FK8) | Vented Design | OEM Replacement | Gloss Finish
The Seibon TSII-Style Carbon Fibre Hood for the 2017–2020 Honda Civic Type-R (FK8) is a direct-fit carbon fibre hood in Seibon's TSII vented style — a hood design that adds a vented profile to the FK8's front end, enhancing the Type-R's already aggressive exterior character with a motorsport-inspired hood vent and significant front-end weight reduction over the factory steel hood. The TSII style is the correct choice for FK8 Type-R owners who want a carbon fibre hood that goes beyond the factory profile — adding visual aggression and a performance-oriented hood vent design that complements the FK8's wing, vents, and aerodynamic body styling. 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. Backed by over 20 years of carbon fibre production experience.
Key Features:
- TSII-style vented design — Seibon's TSII hood profile adds a vented design element to the FK8 Type-R's hood — a motorsport-inspired hood vent that enhances the Type-R's aggressive exterior character beyond the factory hood profile
- Carbon fibre construction — hand-crafted carbon fibre replaces the factory steel hood — significant weight reduction at the front of the FK8 for improved front-end weight distribution and reduced unsprung mass
- OEM replacement fitment — direct replacement for the factory FK8 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
TSII Style — The Design:
Seibon's TSII hood style features a vented profile that departs from the factory FK8 Type-R hood's relatively clean surface. The TSII vent design adds a motorsport-inspired hood vent element that enhances the FK8's aggressive exterior character — complementing the Type-R's factory rear wing, front splitter, side vents, and aerodynamic body styling. The TSII is the correct choice for FK8 owners who want a carbon fibre hood that makes a visual statement beyond a simple OEM-profile replacement — a hood that adds to the Type-R's performance aesthetic rather than simply replicating the factory profile in carbon fibre.
FK8 Civic Type-R — Platform Context:
The 2017–2020 Honda Civic Type-R (FK8) is one of the most celebrated front-wheel-drive performance cars of the modern era — powered by the K20C1 2.0L turbocharged inline-four producing 306HP, with a sophisticated suspension system and extensive aerodynamic bodywork developed for high-speed stability. The FK8's aggressive exterior styling — with its large rear wing, front splitter, and vented body panels — makes it a natural platform for carbon fibre exterior upgrades that enhance the car's performance aesthetic. A carbon fibre hood is one of the most impactful single exterior modifications available for the FK8 — reducing front-end weight while adding the premium carbon fibre weave appearance that suits the Type-R's character.

- Note: Verify your specific FK8 Type-R model year before ordering — confirm that SEIHD17HDCVR-TSII is the correct hood for your 2017–2020 FK8. 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.
What's Included:
- Seibon TSII-style carbon fibre hood — gloss finish — 2017–2020 Honda Civic Type-R FK8 (SEIHD17HDCVR-TSII)
- Refer to Seibon's product documentation for complete hardware contents
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
