Default Seibon CF spoiler

Hey guys I recently came across rr racing's website. I noticed that they have 2 different carbon fiber rear spoilers made by Seibon. I think the first one is the oem style one but is the second one is a replica of the TRD or Varis rear spoiler??? I couldn't find any other one so....any thoughts???




These are what I think are the oem reps







I'm not sure about the ones below​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Certainly looks like the Varis. Or at least inspired.

The Varis rear tail spoiler actually is a longer extension vs. the Seibon which is just additional angle/bump on top of the OEM area at the back, if that makes sense. The footprint of both the Seibon are the same as stock, the Varis extends out further over the back of the trunk.

If I hadn't already purchased and owned the Varis, I would have gone with the cheaper cost of the Seibon...I would also get the second version of the Seibon with the bump up. But don't get me wrong, I like the Varis better. Both Varis and Seibon make quality parts, you are just paying more for the rarity/uniqueness of the Varis

Seibon uses a UV-resistant, marine grade epoxy-resin, so it won't yellow, crack, or fade over time. Definitely a great option for those who want the OEM look and didn't spring for the CF package.

I don't have any personal experience with Seibon's RCF product line, but their products usually fit well compared to other market options.

Did you go with Seibon or Varis?

Haven't seen either hood in person, but the fit and finish look good from the web. I especially liked the Seibon RC F hood that was highlighted at SEMA. The Seibon hood looks to be a good deal since it's priced lower than some of the more popular CF front lips out there.

I went the Seibon CF oem style hood and the Seibon CF oem style rear spoiler.

Does anyone have any tips on where and how to store my original hood when i swap them out? Also, will I be needing hood pins? Someone told me in passing that I would need hood pins if I ever got a carbon hood. Can anyone confirm this, if so why?

I kept my OEM hood in the Seibon box in the garage. I took my ISF with a Seibon hood up to 150+ without hood pins. You'll be fine.

Depends if people cancel their orders or not but about 2-3 months.

Does anyone have any experience with Seibon and if so could you provide any feedback on the quality and fitment?
