How-To: Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood - 15+ Volkswagen GTI

Today we're going to show you how we installed the Seibon Carbon Fiber hood on our 2015+ MK7 Volkswagen GTI. The install is super quick and the Seibon carbon hoods are an easy way to completely change the look and feel of your car.

Thanks for the Vid, installing the TM-Style tomorrow

[@rallysportdirect]

Nice!! Let us know how you like it! :)

[@vpstylee]

RallySport Direct love it

[@danilotiger9]

Do I not get windshield wipers anymore?

[@waveyjoe728]

Looks awesome ! Great vid

[@McBoomPow]

did the hood require hood pins?

[@ernestoescobedo8279]

Im going to buy the same hood. Are you sure this hood doesn’t need hood pins?

[@EmadHa]

I thought it's LinusTechTips talking!

[@bobbob1415]

Where the rest of the videos for all the other mods? New intake, fenders, front lip, tow hook?

[@ondrejpajk6871]

Hey i want to buy it too..I found one that i like. But i had factory not gti..so the question is if the hoods are exeactly same? Like i mean mk7 and mk7 gti?

[@nemsavic]

Would you recommend adding hood pins or is it safe without them?

[@rallysportdirect]

It is safe without them as it does have the latch built into the carbon hood. Thanks, Rick

[@ntdnr1JeanClaud]

@@rallysportdirect Which latch?

[@saucydwarf470]

@@ntdnr1JeanClaud from the oem hood, just remove it and bolt it on to the carbon one

[@diazandhisdaily801]

Doesn't Seibon Recommend Hood pins with all there Hoods?

[@TheAmiri1]

how much does the cf hood weigh?

[@krazytube2196]

How did you reinstall the wire?

[@OhhRicoo]

Does water leak through?

[@christiancastro8635]

Does any water go in with this new cover installed?

[@stevesanchez1975]

Water will get in but seibon provides a undercover for the hood that goes under the vents.

[@raphaelferrer4344]

What did you do with the washer nozzles?

[@omarlekphet]

How light is it 😈

[@stevesanchez1975]

About six pounds lighter than my old stock one

[@outdooroutpost6061]

Do those vents allow water in ? If so is it okay for daily use ?

[@rallysportdirect]

They do have a block off plate which is removable, but even with them removed, it would still be safe for daily use assuming you don't have an open/exposed air filter right under the vent. Thanks, Rick

[@outdooroutpost6061]

RallySport Direct thanks for the reply

[@m.inacio2001]

Will this fit on a mk6 jetta

[@WildTurkeyIII]

Do these hoods reuse the stock wiper fluid sprayers?

[@rallysportdirect]

Yeah, you will put the stock sprayers back in place on the new hood. Basically everything hooks up exactly like stock. Thanks, Rick

[@stevenkormendy]

What about hood latches?

[@sevenoso]

What do you call those things on the front pull tow bar

[@spartanhd_]

A towing eye

[@sevenoso]

@@spartanhd_ cheers lmao

[@RileyBassing]

DO A VIDEO ON HOOD PIN ON MK7

[@MichaelThomas-xx1qq]

How would you get the wiper fluid sprayers to work again? And how do you know when they are set

[@jdkljfkjefjkjfdjdi]

Are those vents useful?

[@rallysportdirect]

Yeah, on a street car it's going to be mainly for looks, but if you do track the car, it can certainly help with underhood temps as well reducing highpressure zones in the engine bay which can also aid in airflow through the radiator as well as aerodynamics. I'm not going to say it would make a huge difference, but it certainly would help. Thanks, Rick

[@Moonizzlee]

Would I need to get a lower pressure hood strut

[@MrJoepeps]

Yes

[@1209MArky]

Would you happen to know if you could fit this hood in the car?

[@doxmedia9962]

Why not just measure your stock hood? They are basically identical aside from the vents.

[@SomeOne-on6yf]

Take it to a wind tunnel and see what it looks like with some smoke.

[@ryandee4255]

We want land speed update.

[@josemontano7767]

I just order this same hood for my Golf R. And payed around $1090. I want to paint it the same color as the car.

[@rallysportdirect]

100% this. I'm always a big fan of painted carbon! :)

[@Masia315]

Why would you paint it

[@richardburns9772]

Hood gaps for days, bruh

[@fire700rescue]

If you honestly need a DIY video on how to swap a hood, then you shouldn’t of bought a CF hood in the first place... let’s get some ACTUAL important DIY.

[@mikeg4428]

Is it necessary to add insulation to the bonnet ?

[@rallysportdirect]

No not at all, you can just bolt on and go :) Thanks, Rick

[@juanhidalgo6234]

Would it fit my 2017 Jetta ?
