The UV-resistant gloss clear coat is factory-applied and ready to install. At up to 50% lighter than the OEM steel equivalent, it reduces unsprung weight for measurable gains in acceleration, braking balance, and cornering response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImproved Cooling Efficiency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seals the gap between the radiator and the front fascia, directing all incoming airflow through the radiator core rather than around it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3K 2x2 Twill Weave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-laid carbon construction provides a lightweight, rigid seal panel that maintains its shape under heat cycling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGloss Clear Coat Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e UV-resistant factory finish is show-quality even in the engine bay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Mounting Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mounts directly to factory radiator support or bumper beam mounting locations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduces Underhood Heat:\u003c\/strong\u003e By improving radiator efficiency, reduces overall underhood operating temperature on both street and track use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeibon Fitment Guarantee:\u003c\/strong\u003e Test-fit and verified against the target vehicle before production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThis Part Fits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTrim\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2017-2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCivic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCP17HDCVR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e887753486721\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3K 2x2 twill weave carbon fiber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGloss UV-resistant clear coat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-laid with fiberglass skeleton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight Savings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 50% lighter than OEM equivalent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUses OEM mounting hardware; not included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeibon 6-month limited clear coat warranty; fitment guarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Seibon carbon fiber radiator cooling plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware where applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow the engine to cool completely before starting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the front undertray or lower splash shield if needed to access the radiator lower mounting area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentify the factory cooling plate or foam seal location along the radiator lower edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-fit the carbon cooling plate to confirm alignment with the radiator frame and bumper beam mounting points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure the plate using OEM-style push clips or supplied hardware.

This forces all incoming airflow through the radiator core, improving cooling efficiency ,  especially during track use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a performance upgrade or just a cosmetic part?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth. The cooling plate provides a measurable improvement in radiator airflow efficiency, particularly at sustained high speeds or on track. The carbon fiber construction also adds visual appeal in the engine bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes installation require removing the front bumper?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically, the cooling plate is accessible through the front undertray opening without bumper removal. Confirm for your specific vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeibon provides a fitment guarantee and a 6-month limited clear coat warranty. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, this product does not void your vehicle's factory warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs this compatible with aftermarket front bumpers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is designed for the OEM front fascia. Aftermarket bumpers may alter the radiator gap geometry. Verify compatibility before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe with a damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh engine degreasers on the carbon surface. The underside is exposed to road spray, so inspect periodically for chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install this at home?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Installation is straightforward and requires only basic hand tools. No cutting or drilling is required on most applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between this and a radiator support brace?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cooling plate seals airflow gaps for improved cooling efficiency. A radiator support brace reinforces the structural mounting of the radiator. These are separate products with different functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWARNING:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product can expose you to chemicals including lead and phthalates, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
