Description

The Seibon VS-Style double-sided carbon fiber hood for the Toyota GR Corolla is a premium exterior upgrade engineered to reduce front-end weight, improve engine bay ventilation, and elevate the visual presence of the vehicle with race-inspired design language.

Unlike one-side carbon fiber hoods, this VS-Style hood features carbon fiber visible on both the top and underside — also known as double-sided carbon fiber — providing increased structural strength, depth of finish, and long-term durability. The VS-Style profile features bold venting and contours that enhance airflow from the engine bay while giving your GR Corolla a purposeful and aggressive stance.

This hood is ideal for enthusiasts who want a performance-oriented upgrade that combines real weight reduction with distinct motorsport styling and high-end carbon fiber aesthetics.

Key Benefits of a VS-Style Double-Sided Carbon Fiber Hood

Upgrading to a Seibon VS-Style double-sided carbon fiber hood provides both functional and aesthetic advantages:

• Significant weight reduction compared to the factory steel hood

• Double-sided carbon fiber construction for increased strength and finish depth

• Aggressive VS-Style venting for improved airflow and heat extraction

• Premium 3K 2×2 twill weave carbon fiber with a consistent pattern

• Enhanced motorsport-inspired styling

• OEM-style fitment and integration

The combination of functional vents and dry carbon construction makes this hood both a visual centerpiece and a performance-focused upgrade for the GR Corolla.

Functional vs Visual Value

The Seibon VS-Style double-sided carbon fiber hood provides a blend of performance benefit and visual impact.

From a performance standpoint, the reduced weight of carbon fiber compared to the factory steel hood helps lower front-end mass, contributing to improved overall handling and front/rear balance. Functional hood vents assist with hot air extraction from the engine bay, which can help thermal management under spirited driving conditions.

From a visual standpoint, the VS-Style contours and premium carbon fiber weave create a striking front-end aesthetic that complements other exterior upgrades.

This hood is a strong choice for performance builds, race-inspired street cars, and show vehicles looking for a bold front-end statement.

How This Part Fits Into a GR Corolla Build

The Seibon VS-Style carbon fiber hood pairs exceptionally well with:

• Carbon fiber front lips and side skirts

• Rear spoilers and rear lips

• Carbon fiber roof, fenders, and exterior trim

• Performance exhaust and suspension upgrades

• Cooling upgrades and intake enhancements

It can be installed as a standalone upgrade or combined with other carbon fiber components to create a cohesive, premium exterior theme.
