SEOULEST Carbon Fiber Engine Bay Braces

[NICK_KHAR]

Figured this would go under the engine category since its not really suspension related as they are not like the normal strut tower braces on other cars

But regardless

Proud to announce the Carbon Fiber Engine bay Braces by Seoulest

Seoulest is based out of Korea and thats where these bars are made
Constructed 100% out of Carbon Fiber
These are NOT overlayed OEM pieces

Here are some photos of them layed out, installed, and weight comparisons to the oem
We know 2lbs isnt much for weight savings
But the comparisons are more to show that these are not OEM pieces with carbon on top

looks pretty good

 

[TwistedOrca]

Nice!

They look nice, but what engineering testing has been applied to these.
Kia designed & put these braces in for a mechanical/engineered reason. My concern is to what testing has been conducted on these CF ones to certify that they meet or exceed performance parameters of the OE ones, until this is proven I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole.

Get your rational, logical thought out of here when people are talking about pretty CF parts.

I agree

I think the BMS ones made from billet aluminum are the way to go if you're looking for the stiffest option available.

 

[NICK_KHAR]

Keep in mind they are radiator support braces
Not chassis stiffening

Makes sense, the stock ones are pretty flimsy.

hm, here I thought they were some odd strut tower brace

Those would be sweet for me, if they came in red.

Yes red would be very nice. Please make this happen .......
