Product Overview
Transform your sports car’s front end with the Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020 — a precision-engineered lightweight bonnet that captures the aggressive motorsport identity of the FA-style vented hood design. The FA bonnet profile features a prominent central vent and sculpted body lines that dramatically transform the front-end presence of your BRZ or 86, giving it the look of a purpose-built track car straight from the paddock.
The Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet delivers far more than visual impact. Real carbon fibre construction reduces bonnet weight by up to 50% compared to the factory steel unit — lowering the centre of gravity, reducing nose weight, and improving overall front-to-rear balance for sharper turn-in and more responsive handling. Whether you are building a dedicated track car in Sydney, a show-winning BRZ in Melbourne, a stage-ready 86 in Brisbane, or a clean performance build in Perth — the Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020 is the definitive front-end upgrade for your ZC6/ZN6 platform.

Why the Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet is the Best Front-End Upgrade
Unlike cheap fibreglass bonnets or heavy OEM steel replacements, the Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020 is constructed from genuine woven carbon fibre — the same material used in motorsport, aerospace, and premium supercar manufacturing. Every panel, every vent, and every body line is precision-laid and moulded to match the exact factory bonnet dimensions of the 2012–2020 Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86, ensuring a direct OEM bolt-on fit with zero modification required.
Australian BRZ and 86 enthusiasts across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth consistently rate the FA-style carbon fibre bonnet as the single most impactful visual and performance upgrade available for the ZC6/ZN6 platform. The combination of dramatic weight saving, improved engine bay breathing, and stunning woven carbon aesthetics makes this the upgrade that transforms a standard BRZ or 86 into something truly special.

Performance & Visual Benefits of the Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020
Real Weight Reduction, Real Performance Gains
The Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020 delivers measurable performance improvements that go far beyond visual impact:
- Dramatic Weight Reduction: Carbon fibre construction cuts bonnet weight by up to 50% compared to the factory steel unit — directly improving front-end agility and steering response
- Lower Centre of Gravity: Reducing weight at the front of the car lowers the overall centre of gravity, improving cornering balance and reducing body roll during fast direction changes
- Improved Front-to-Rear Balance: Less nose weight means better weight distribution — especially beneficial on the already well-balanced BRZ/86 platform, sharpening turn-in and improving mid-corner feel
- Engine Bay Cooling: The FA-style central vent extracts hot air from the engine bay, reducing under-bonnet temperatures during hard driving on track days in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane
- Reduced Bonnet Lift: The FA vent design manages airflow over and through the bonnet, reducing aerodynamic lift at highway speeds for improved front-end stability
Why Carbon Fibre Over Fibreglass or Steel?
When Australian BRZ and 86 owners in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth compare bonnet materials, carbon fibre wins every time for performance builds:
| Material | Weight | Strength | Finish | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factory Steel | Heavy | High | Painted | OEM replacement |
| Fibreglass (FRP) | Medium | Medium | Paintable | Budget builds |
| Carbon Fibre | Lightest | Highest | Gloss carbon | Performance & show builds |
The Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet is the clear choice for any BRZ or 86 owner serious about performance, aesthetics, or both.

Engine Bay Cooling & Thermal Management
How the FA Style Vent Improves Engine Bay Temperature
One of the most functional features of the Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020 is the integrated FA-style central vent. During hard driving — whether on a track day at Sydney Motorsport Park, a mountain run in Melbourne’s Dandenong Ranges, or a summer cruise in Brisbane — engine bay temperatures can climb significantly under the sealed factory bonnet.
The FA-style vent works by:
- Extracting Hot Air: High-pressure air from the engine bay escapes through the central vent, drawing cooler ambient air in through the front intake openings
- Reducing Heat Soak: Lower under-bonnet temperatures reduce heat soak to the intake, intercooler, and engine bay components
- Improving Intake Efficiency: Cooler intake air is denser — meaning more oxygen per combustion cycle and improved engine efficiency
- Protecting Components: Reduced thermal stress on engine bay wiring, hoses, and rubber components extends component lifespan

Installation Guide – Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020
Installing your Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020 is a direct bolt-on process using the factory hinge points and bonnet latch. Allow approximately 1–2 hours for a clean, professional installation. Two people are strongly recommended for safe handling of the carbon fibre panel.
Required Tools
- 10mm socket wrench and ratchet
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Masking tape (panel protection during fitting)
- Microfibre cloths
- Isopropyl alcohol (panel cleaning)
- Second person for panel handling
Step-by-Step Installation Process
- Prop Factory Bonnet: Open and safely prop the factory bonnet using the factory bonnet stay rod
- Disconnect Washer Jets: Unplug the windscreen washer jet hose connection from the factory bonnet underside
- Mark Hinge Position: Apply masking tape alongside the factory bonnet hinge bolts — mark the exact hinge position for reference during reinstallation
- Remove Factory Bonnet: With a second person supporting the bonnet panel, unbolt the four hinge bolts (two per hinge) using a 10mm socket
- Lift Off Factory Bonnet: Carefully lift the factory steel bonnet clear of the vehicle and set it safely aside
- Transfer Bonnet Stay Bracket: Remove the bonnet stay rod bracket from the factory bonnet and transfer it to the matching location on the FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet
- Position Carbon Bonnet: With your second person, carefully position the Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet onto the factory hinges — align to your masking tape reference marks
- Hand-Tighten Hinge Bolts: Insert and hand-tighten all four hinge bolts — do not fully tighten yet
- Check Panel Gaps: Gently close the bonnet and check panel gaps against both front quarter panels — adjust hinge position as needed for even gaps
- Fully Torque Hinge Bolts: Once panel gaps are confirmed even, fully tighten hinge bolts to factory specification
- Reconnect Washer Jets: Reconnect windscreen washer jet hose to the underside of the carbon bonnet
- Check Latch Operation: Gently close the bonnet fully and confirm the factory latch engages cleanly and securely
- Final Inspection: Check all panel gaps are even, bonnet sits flush with guards, and all hardware is secure

Is the carbon fibre on this bonnet genuine or a wrap?
The Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet features a genuine woven carbon fibre outer skin with a high-gloss UV-resistant clear coat — not a carbon vinyl wrap or carbon-look paint.

The Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 FA Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020 can reduce bonnet weight by up to 50% compared to the factory steel unit. This directly reduces nose weight, lowers the centre of gravity, and improves the already exceptional front-to-rear balance of the BRZ and 86 platform.
