Does the Voltex vented hood fit the FL5 Honda Civic Type R?

Yes. The Voltex dry carbon vented hood is made specifically for the FL5 Honda Civic Type R. It is a direct replacement for the factory hood and uses the original mounting points. Confirm the model year of your FL5 against the vendor fitment data before ordering.

What is the vented hood made from?

The Voltex vented hood is built from dry carbon fiber, which is lighter than the OEM steel hood on the Civic Type R. Dry carbon offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and a refined weave finish, trimming weight from the front of the car to benefit handling balance.

How does the venting help on track?

The vents on the Voltex hood expel hot air from the engine bay during hard driving, which lowers under-hood temperatures and eases the cooling load so the radiator works more effectively. The vents also release high-pressure air that builds under the hood at speed, reducing hood lift.

What is the removable rain cover for?

The Voltex vented hood includes a removable rain cover over the vent openings. Drivers can run the hood fully open for maximum airflow on track, or fit the rain cover to keep water out of the engine bay during street driving in wet weather.

Is the design based on a race car?

Yes. The Voltex vented hood uses the design developed on the Time Attack Evo that won the World Championship three times in a row. That motorsport development is carried into the FL5 Civic Type R hood, balancing real aerodynamic function with race-bred styling.

Description

Voltex Dry Carbon Hood with Rain guard for FL5 Honda Civic Type R

The Voltex FL5 Civic Type R hood is a functional dry carbon aero hood built to pull hot air out of the engine bay during hard driving. Sustained sporty driving builds heat under the hood, and the integrated venting on this Voltex FL5 Civic Type R hood expels that hot air to ease the cooling load and let the radiator work more effectively. The vents also relieve the high-pressure air that builds under a closed hood at speed, which addresses the lift that pressure creates over the hood surface. The design draws directly from Voltex’s three-time World Championship Time Attack Evo, balancing proven function with motorsport styling, and a removable rain cover lets drivers prioritize airflow on track or refit weather protection for the street.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
