We are proud to partner up with Rays Wheels, Falken Tires, Cobb Tuning and, RS-R to bring a new look to our WRX STI Type RA.

It always makes a good story when we collaborate with Super Street on a new project. Recently SS published a two part story about their project Taco and we were delighted to be a part of it. You can find it on their website, but for now we are going to focus on our end of it: carbon fiber.

It wasn't till recently that the overland scene become a big deal in the automotive community. You have your OGs that have been doing it for years. You have your new comers that recently bought a truck or an SUV to take on the trails. We noticed a trend: someone who has had an S2000 needed to upgrade to something bigger. Those that have upgraded still had the mod bug in their system. They had TEs on their S2000, now they have them on their overland build. These same customers wanted more carbon fiber options for their off-road machines, and that is where we come in.

SS Project Taco stopped by our HQ for a hood and fender flare install. Both installs are fairly simple. If you're running aftermarket bumpers, some trimming to the fender flares may be required.

The weight of the OEM hood is 44 lbs, the weight of the Seibon Carbon TR-Style Carbon Fiber Hood is only 27.4 lbs.

Up next was the carbon fiber fender flare install.

The build has been kept low key this whole time and not a lot of images or posts hit the web. Project Taco made its debut at SEMA 2019 in the Seibon Carbon booth. This was the ideal build to display our new products for the 2016-2019 Toyota Tacoma.

A few weeks after SEMA, SS took the Tacoma out for a shoot and invited us along to generate some content. This was the proper environment for a build like this. Dirt roads and mud, just the tip of the off-road iceberg.

We also had march on display for sale. From t-shirts, hats, stickers, and even our new trim removal kit.

This past weekend we held our first Type R Meet. Before we get into it, we want to thank every single person that made time and checked out the event. We also want to say a big thank you to our food trucks ( I Love Funnel CakesFunky Chef Cafe, and Chu Thong Coffee) that came out that morning.

The idea we had behind this was to bring Type R owners together for a nice, relaxing event. We didn't want anything crazy. It wasn't a show, no trophies, just an event for car enthusiasts. Our meet was an open invite, meaning it wasn't only for Type R owners, but for everyone. And that's exactly how it went. We thank everyone who respected our rules and our property.

So how many Type Rs showed up? Well, we had a few DC2s and a lot of FK8s. We believe in total there was around 35 Fk8s, but in the photo above, there are 30. Much more than we expected. It was great to see shop owners, big companies and car owners socializing and discussing the Type R . This is exactly what we had in mind for our meet.

We we're also very happy to see other cars come out. We didn't want this to be only for Type Rs, we wanted this to be for car enthusiasts. No matter what you drive, or what you like, we wanted to make sure everyone enjoyed the event.

To thank everyone that came out, we held a raffle towards the end of the event. Prizes included: Seibon t-shirts, hoodies, hood props, license plate frames, and a grand prize of our carbon fiber backpack.

Do you think we should organize more meets? Let us know!

We are in the beginning of the show season and one of the first shows on our list was Elite Tuner - Elite Showdown LA 2017. Elite Tuner is still new to the West coast but have established a big name for themselves on the East coast. The event featured a lot of different activities including a judged car show, dance competition, 2-step competition, and many more! Nick Hogan was entertaining the crowd this event and even brought out his R35 GTR.

We appreciate everyone who took the time to stop by the booth and said hello! Enjoy the photos from the show below:

Seibon Carbon 2015 Subaru STI at SEMA 2015. Featuring Seibon's CW-style hood, C-style trunk, MB3-style front lip, MB-style side skirts, MB-style rear lip, and Beat Sonic/Seibon Carbon roof fin spoiler.

Anyone who has really built a car will tell you that it's easier said than done, especially when there is a deadline involved.

There’s something about deadlines that encourages the universe to throw “wrenches” your way. That’s exactly what happened with Seibon Carbon’s SEMA Subaru STI.

Before getting into the details on how the universe tried to conspire against our build, let’s talk about the build.

Snail Performance’s STI is in no way a trailer queen! This build enjoys plenty of track days and was built and tuned by Snail Performance. These guys work on GTRs, Porsches, and Subarus on a daily basis.

The goal for SEMA was simple: to revamp the STI while maintaining its functionality for the track. Believe it or not, SP drove the STI out from SEMA and straight to the track!

Introducing Carbon Roof Fin Spoiler

The first order of business was to wrap the STI with Intense Blue Avery wrap. This color was chosen for obvious reasons.

In terms of carbon fiber, the STI received the Seibon Carbon treatment: hood, trunk, front lip, side skirts, rear lip, and roof fin spoiler. SEMA 2015 was the first time the public was introduced to our CW-style hoodintegrated duckbill C-style trunkMB3 front lipMB side skirts, and MB rear lip. Also introduced at the show, the Beat Sonic/Seibon Carbon roof fin spoiler. The fin spoiler was a special collaboration piece with Beat Sonic and is only available through them.

The C-style trunk lid is not a style we usually offer for Subarus. This year we decided to make the STI’s trunk a little more aggressive. The feedback Seibon Carbon received was exceptional!

Up close look of Seibon Carbon's C-style trunk, MB-style side skirts, and MB-style rear lip for the new STI.

Also on the exterior, Rays/Volk Racing ZE40s in Matte Blue Gunmetal accompanied by Yokohama’s ADVAN Neova tires. This combination allows the STI to maintain driving control on and off the track.
On the interior, Razo/Carmate’s competition RP123 MT Super Grip pedal set, black 46g shift knob, and wide mirror.

Not everything was smooth sailing at SEMA. One of our show pieces was damaged while in transit to the show! Luckily, and with the help from the crew at Mothers Cleaning Supplies, we were able to restore the roof fin spoiler to its intended glory!

The crew from Mothers Cleaning Supplies helps us repair a damaged show piece! It’s true what they say-- “not all heroes wear capes”.

A special thank you to Snail Performance, Yokohama, Beat Sonic, Razo, Snap-On, and Mothers Cleaning Supplies.

Seibon Carbon took SEMA 2015 as an opportunity to display its highly anticipated carbon fiber upgrades for the 2015/2016 Subaru STI, Lamborghini Huracan, and BMW M4.

Once a year Sin City welcomes some of the most talked about builds in the world for what is known as the SEMA Show. For four days the Las Vegas Convention Center features never seen before products and builds. When it comes to SEMA, Seibon Carbon fans know we don’t do conservative—it’s just not us!

We’ll go more in depth with each build on our future posts. For now, let’s get to it!

Subaru fans, we have you covered! Our booth featured Snail Performance’s 2015 Subaru STI. No trailer queen here; this STI is built for track. With that in mind, it was only appropriate for us to help the STI shed some weight with our carbon fiber CW-style hood and C-style trunk lid. Other aerodynamic upgrades included carbon fiber MB-style front lip, MB-style side skirts, MB-style rear lip, and roof fin spoiler.

It wouldn’t be SEMA if we didn’t feature a supercar in our booth. This year we featured a Lamborghini Huracan upgraded with a Seibon Carbon dry carbon front lip, side skirts, and rear diffuser. The Huracan’s matte black paint along with our dry carbon lipkit was definitely a show favorite.

For all of our Euro fans, a Yas Marina Blue painted BMW M4. The ultimate driving machine’s carbon fiber upgrades included a Seibon Carbon three-piece carbon fiber front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser, and rear spoiler. To complete the M4's luxurious and sleek exterior, a set of PUR 4OUR Wheels.

By now you may have noticed a few items in the background. SEMA attendees got a sneak peek at Seibon Carbon’s carbon fiber shell backpackschairs, FRS/BRZ strut bar, 2015 Civic trunk, and Ford Focus RS-style hood—all of which will be available soon!
So there you have it, Seibon Carbon’s SEMA 2015 booth! Stay tuned for more information on each build.
