Seibon Carbon | Lightweight Carbon Fibre Aerodynamics
Exacting standards in lightweight composite styling and performance. At Chicane Australia, we provide specialised supply for Seibon Carbon. Every Seibon component is constructed using a consistent weave pattern and high-quality resins to ensure structural integrity and a mirror-like finish. We facilitate fast sourcing and reliable delivery across Australia for their elite range of carbon fibre hoods, trunks, fenders, and aerodynamic lip kits.
The Seibon Manufacturing Advantage & UV Protection
Seibon distinguishes itself by utilizing a meticulous hand-laid or vacuum-infused manufacturing process. This ensures an optimal resin-to-fabric ratio, resulting in high stiffness and significant weight savings—essential for lowering the centre of gravity on performance builds. To combat the harsh Australian sun, every Seibon part is finished with a marine-grade, UV-resistant clear coat that prevents the yellowing or clouding common in inferior carbon products. Whether it is the iconic TS-Style vented hood or a sleek CSL-style trunk, Seibon hardware is engineered for a precise, bolt-on fitment using factory mounting points.
Our sourcing capabilities cover the flagship Seibon Carbon range:
• Carbon Fibre Hoods: Vented designs like the TS and VS styles to improve engine bay cooling for the Civic Type R (FL5/FK8) and WRX (VB/VA).
• Lightweight Trunks: Significant weight reduction for the Toyota GR86 (ZN8) / 86 (ZN6) and Subaru BRZ, improving rear-end agility and weight distribution.
• Aerodynamic Lip Kits: Front lips, side skirts, and rear diffusers that provide a subtle, high-end aesthetic for the Nissan Z (RZ34) and Volkswagen Golf R (MK7/MK8).
• Carbon Fenders: Widened and vented fenders for Lancer Evolution (CP9A/CT9A) builds, allowing for more aggressive wheel fitments and brake cooling.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we provide the technical expertise to ensure your Seibon hardware is correctly handled and installed for a perfect gap-free finish. We work closely with our supply network to ensure your authentic carbon fibre components are sourced and despatched with professional care and speed.
Seibon Carbon FAQ
How much weight does a Seibon hood save?
While it varies by vehicle, a Seibon carbon fibre hood can save up to 50% of the weight compared to a factory steel hood. This reduction is particularly beneficial as it removes mass from the front of the car and above the shock towers, directly improving turn-in response and braking performance.
Do I need hood pins for my Seibon hood?
For high-speed track use or any situation involving extreme wind buffeting, hood pins are strongly recommended for safety. While Seibon hoods utilize factory-style latches, the lightweight nature of carbon fibre means it can be susceptible to air pressure lifting at high speeds.
How quickly can you source Seibon products?
We utilise a robust international and local supply network to provide the fastest possible turnaround. Due to the size of the components, Seibon hoods and trunks are handled with specialised shipping to ensure they arrive at your door in perfect condition across Australia.
