This is the one for you. The Seibon OE-Style carbon fiber hood reproduces your\n  Prelude's factory hood shape, line for line, in real carbon fiber. So you keep those smooth, familiar Prelude\n  lines, only now they're carbon, lighter, glossier, and a whole lot cooler than the steel hood. It's the\n  understated move, all the carbon upside without shouting about it.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy OE-Style Works So Well Here\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Here's the appeal. Plenty of carbon hoods go big with vents and aggressive shapes, and that's cool if that's\n  your build. But the OE-Style holds the factory silhouette, so from a few feet away it reads stock, and up\n  close you catch that deep 3K twill weave under the finish. It's clean and subtle, which suits the Prelude\n  perfectly, this was always a sharp-looking car, so keeping those lines and just upgrading the material is a\n  tasteful move. If you're after an OEM+ or restomod feel, where the car looks factory-fresh but clearly a step\n  above, this is exactly the look.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eReal Weight Off That Long Nose\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  There's a genuine payoff beyond the looks. The Prelude is a front-engine coupe with a long hood, which means\n  there's a good chunk of steel sitting way out over the front axle. Swap it for carbon and you're pulling real\n  weight off the nose, right where it helps your balance and turn-in the most. Let's keep it honest, a hood\n  alone won't transform the car, but on a nose-heavy front-driver like this, losing steel up front is one of\n  the better places to shed weight, and you get the carbon look right along with it.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBuilt Right, And Bolts On\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  This is real carbon done properly. Seibon molds these from 3K 2x2 twill weave carbon fiber with a high\n  carbon-to-resin ratio for a stiff, strong panel, and there's a fiberglass support structure bonded\n  underneath finished in matte black enamel, which adds strength and cleans up the underside. The top surface\n  is show-ready right out of the box with no painting required, since the carbon is the finish. And it's a\n  bolt-on, it reuses your factory hardware, so installation is straightforward even if this is your first big\n  upgrade. Seibon's been building carbon body panels for over two decades, and it shows in the weave and the\n  finish.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHood Pins Recommended\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Even though this hood bolts on with your factory hardware, it's smart to run a set of hood pins, especially\n  if you drive the car hard or hit the track. They lock the hood down for extra security at speed, so it's\n  cheap peace of mind. Not strictly required, but a wise move if you're pushing the Prelude.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeibon OE-Style carbon fiber hood for the 1992-1996 Honda Prelude\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFactory hood shape reproduced in 3K 2x2 twill weave carbon fiber for a clean, subtle look\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShow-ready finish, no painting required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh carbon-to-resin ratio, with a fiberglass support structure bonded underneath (matte black finish)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLighter than the factory steel hood for weight savings over the front axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBolt-on: reuses factory installation hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHood pins recommended (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits These Cars\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1992-1996 Honda Prelude: S, Si, Si 4WS, and VTEC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Note: Seibon OE-Style carbon fiber hood for the 1992-1996 Honda Prelude. This hood reproduces the factory\n  hood shape in 3K 2x2 twill weave carbon fiber for a clean, subtle OEM-style look, with a high carbon-to-resin\n  ratio and a fiberglass support structure bonded underneath finished in matte black enamel for added strength.\n  The top surface is show-ready with no painting required, and it is lighter than the steel hood for weight\n  savings over the front axle, which is especially worthwhile on the Prelude's long front-engine nose. This is\n  primarily a styling and weight upgrade. It is a bolt-on that reuses the factory installation hardware. Hood\n  pins are recommended for added security, especially for track or spirited driving, and are not included.\n  Fits the 1992-1996 Honda Prelude, including S, Si, Si 4WS, and VTEC. One hood per order.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e1992-1996 Honda Prelude \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"TechnicalData\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"InstallGuide\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Seibon Carbon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45972252295202,"sku":"SCN-HD9296HDPR-OE","price":1170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/SCN-HD9296HDPR-OE_uhxy.jpg?v=1783713511","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/seibon-oem-style-carbon-fiber-hood-1992-1996-honda-prelude","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
