Engineered to replicate the iconic Varis aero bonnet profile — one of Japan’s most respected tuning and aerodynamic design houses — this genuine carbon fibre bonnet delivers dramatic weight reduction, improved engine bay cooling, and a stunning Japanese motorsport aesthetic.
It is a direct OEM bolt-on fit for all 2012–2020 Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 / GT86 models. No cutting, no modification, no compromise.
At Bodykitbae in Blacktown, Sydney NSW, we supply the best aftermarket carbon fibre bonnets and body kits to BRZ and Toyota 86 enthusiasts across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.

Product Overview
The Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020 transforms the front end of your sports car instantly.
The Varis bonnet profile features bold sculpted vents, sharp crease lines, and an aggressive raised centre section — giving your BRZ or 86 the purposeful, track-ready identity of a full Varis aero build straight from the Japanese tuning scene.
Genuine carbon fibre construction cuts bonnet weight by up to 50% compared to the factory steel unit. This lowers the centre of gravity, reduces nose weight, and sharpens the front-to-rear balance of the already exceptional ZC6/ZN6 platform.
Whether you are building a dedicated track car in Sydney, a show BRZ in Melbourne, a stage-ready 86 in Brisbane, or a clean performance build in Perth — this is the definitive front-end upgrade for your platform.

Why the Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet is the Best Front-End Upgrade
Unlike cheap fibreglass alternatives or heavy OEM steel bonnets, the Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020 is constructed from genuine woven carbon fibre.
Every vent, panel line, and mounting point is precision-moulded to match the exact factory bonnet dimensions of the 2012–2020 ZC6/ZN6 platform — ensuring a gap-free, factory-perfect OEM bolt-on fit.
BRZ and 86 enthusiasts across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth consistently rate the Varis-style carbon bonnet as the most dramatic single front-end upgrade available for the platform.
The combination of significant weight saving, Varis-inspired Japanese aero styling, improved engine bay thermal management, and stunning exposed carbon weave aesthetics makes this the upgrade that truly transforms a standard BRZ or 86 into something extraordinary.

| Fibreglass (FRP) | Medium | Medium | Paintable | Budget builds |
| Carbon Fibre | Lightest | Highest | Gloss carbon | Performance & show |
The Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet is the definitive choice for any serious ZC6/ZN6 build.
Engine Bay Cooling – How the Varis Vents Help Your BRZ or 86
Thermal Management on the ZC6/ZN6 Platform
The Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020 features dual Varis-style sculpted vents that actively manage engine bay temperatures.
During hard driving — track days at Sydney Motorsport Park, mountain runs through Melbourne’s Dandenong Ranges, canyon blasts in Brisbane’s hinterland, or summer highway driving in Perth — engine bay temperatures can climb significantly under the sealed factory bonnet.
The Varis vents work by:
- Extracting Hot Air: High-pressure hot air escapes through the dual sculpted vents — drawing cooler ambient air in through the front intake
- Reducing Heat Soak: Lower temperatures protect the BRZ/86 intake system and ancillary components
- Improving Intake Efficiency: Cooler, denser intake air supports better engine efficiency and throttle response
- Protecting Components: Reduced thermal stress extends the lifespan of wiring, hoses, and rubber components

The Varis Design Legacy – Why It Matters for Your BRZ or 86
Varis is one of Japan’s most celebrated aerodynamic design and tuning houses — known for precision-engineered body kits, carbon fibre components, and aggressive aero packages that balance form and function at the highest level.
The Varis bonnet design for the BRZ and Toyota 86 is one of the most iconic pieces in the Varis catalogue — instantly recognisable at car shows and track days across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.
Fitting the Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet to your ZC6 or ZN6 is a direct connection to that Japanese tuning heritage — whether you are building a full Varis aero kit or adding the carbon bonnet as a standout standalone upgrade.

Installation Guide – Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020
The Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet is a direct bolt-on replacement. Allow 1–2 hours and always use two people for safe carbon panel handling.
Required Tools
- 10mm socket wrench and ratchet
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Masking tape (alignment and panel protection)
- Microfibre cloths
- Isopropyl alcohol (panel cleaning)
- Second person for safe panel handling
Step-by-Step Installation
- Prop Factory Bonnet: Open and safely prop the factory bonnet using the bonnet stay rod
- Disconnect Washer Jets: Unplug the windscreen washer jet hose from the factory bonnet underside
- Mark Hinge Position: Apply masking tape alongside factory hinge bolts and mark exact position for reference
- Remove Factory Bonnet: With a second person supporting the panel, unbolt the four hinge bolts using a 10mm socket
- Set Factory Bonnet Aside: Place the factory steel bonnet carefully on a soft surface
- Transfer Stay Bracket: Remove the bonnet stay rod bracket from the factory bonnet and transfer to the Varis carbon bonnet
- Position Carbon Bonnet: With your second person, carefully position the Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet onto the factory hinges — align to masking tape reference marks
- Hand-Tighten Bolts: Insert and hand-tighten all four hinge bolts — do not fully tighten yet
- Check Panel Gaps: Gently close the bonnet and check gaps against both front quarter panels — adjust hinge position as needed
- Fully Torque Bolts: Once gaps are confirmed even on both sides, tighten hinge bolts to factory specification
- Reconnect Washer Jets: Reconnect the windscreen washer jet hose to the carbon bonnet underside
- Check Latch Operation: Gently close the bonnet fully — confirm the factory latch engages cleanly and securely
- Final Inspection: Confirm all gaps are even, bonnet sits flush with guards, and all hardware is secure

SEO FAQs – Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020
Is the Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet a direct bolt-on fit for my 2016 BRZ?
Yes! The Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020 is a direct OEM bolt-on fit for all 2012–2020 ZC6/ZN6 platform models, including the 2016 BRZ. It uses the factory hinge points and bonnet latch — no cutting or modification required.
Is the carbon fibre genuine or a vinyl wrap?
The Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet features a genuine woven carbon fibre outer skin with a UV-resistant high-gloss clear coat. It is real structural carbon fibre — not a carbon vinyl wrap or carbon-look paint finish.
How much weight does the Varis carbon bonnet save?
The Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 2012-2020 reduces 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 front-to-rear balance of the ZC6/ZN6 platform.
What makes the Varis style different from the FA style carbon bonnet?
The Varis-style bonnet features a bold raised centre section with dual sculpted vents — a more aggressive and dramatic profile than the FA-style single central vent design. The Varis look is ideal for builds chasing full Japanese aero styling, while the FA style suits cleaner OEM+ front-end transformations.

Can the Varis carbon bonnet be painted to match my factory colour?
The Subaru BRZ Toyota 86 Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet arrives in exposed gloss carbon weave — the most popular finish among BRZ and 86 owners across Sydney and Melbourne. The clear coat can be sanded and repainted to any factory colour code by a professional body shop if preferred.
