Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 – Best Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X Carbon Bonnet Australia
Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X Australia is the original, most classic, and most aero-heritage-referenced carbon fibre bonnet in the Bodykitbae Varis range — a genuine carbon fibre and FRP bonnet with the clean single-vent design that defines the foundational Varis bonnet aesthetic for the Mitsubishi Lancer, Ralliart, and EVO X platform.
The Bonnet 1 is where the Varis carbon bonnet range begins. Every other design in the nine-bonnet range builds on or departs from the visual language that the Bonnet 1 establishes — the clean, single-vent, classic Varis aero profile that has appeared on more Japanese time attack cars, more GT road builds, and more JDM-direction Lancer and EVO X builds across Australia than any other Varis bonnet design number.
What makes the Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 unique within the range — and what separates it from Bonnets 5, 6, 7, and 8 — is the lip option. The Bonnet 1 is available in two distinct configurations: Carbon Fibre Front Lip or Unpainted Lip — giving every build direction the correct front edge configuration and finish at the point where the bonnet meets the front bumper line.
At $1,400.00 AUD — in line with Bonnets 3 and 7 in the range, and $100.00 above the entry-level $1,300.00 Bonnets 5, 6, and 8 — the Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 with its lip configuration option is the classic Varis reference for any Lancer and EVO X carbon bonnet build in Australia.
At Bodykitbae in Blacktown, Sydney NSW, we supply the best aftermarket carbon fibre bonnets, body kits, and Mitsubishi performance exterior accessories to enthusiasts across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. If you are searching for the Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 for your Mitsubishi Lancer, Ralliart, or EVO X in Australia, you have found the right place.

Product Overview
The Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X Australia is a made-to-order genuine carbon fibre and FRP bonnet — the first and foundational design in the Bodykitbae Varis carbon bonnet range — available in two lip configurations for the 2008-onwards Mitsubishi Lancer CJ, Lancer Ralliart, and EVO X platform.
The Bonnet 1 design is defined by its clean, restrained single-vent Varis aero profile — a raised vent section that runs across the bonnet width with the precise proportions and angle that characterise the original Varis bonnet aesthetic from which all subsequent Varis bonnet designs derive. It is not the most dramatic bonnet in the range. The extended scoop of Bonnet 7 is taller. The multi-vent Bonnet 3 is more aggressive. The wide Bonnet 2 is more prominent.
But the Bonnet 1 is the most classic — and for Lancer and EVO X builds that reference authentic Varis aero heritage rather than maximum visual drama, the classic single-vent Bonnet 1 profile is the most correct and most credible choice in the entire range.
Two lip options are available at the time of ordering:
Carbon Fibre Front Lip: A carbon fibre lip added to the front edge of the bonnet — extending the carbon fibre aesthetic to the leading edge of the bonnet where it meets the front bumper line, creating a continuous carbon surface from the bonnet vent to the front lip without any material transition.
Unpainted Lip: A raw FRP lip on the front edge — ready for professional paint application in body colour or any custom finish, giving the bonnet a visually cleanlined leading edge that integrates with the front bumper below it in painted colour rather than exposed carbon.
Both lip options are made to order — 8 weeks from order placement — and both are available for professional paint and installation at our Bodykitbae Blacktown Sydney workshop.
The Bonnet 1 Legacy – Why the Classic Single-Vent Varis Design Endures
The Varis aftermarket aero catalogue spans decades of Japanese performance car culture — from circuit racing and time attack to GT road builds and the domestic Japanese tuning scene. Every Varis bonnet design carries a number that identifies its specific vent geometry, profile, and visual character.
The Bonnet 1 is the foundational design. It is the classic Varis single-vent profile — the bonnet design that established the Varis aesthetic language before the wider vents, extended scoops, and triple-fin designs of later numbered variants were developed.
In the context of Japanese performance car culture, the single-vent Varis bonnet profile is one of the most photographed and most widely referenced bonnet designs associated with the Mitsubishi Lancer and EVO platform. It has appeared on track preparation cars at Tsukuba Circuit, on GT road builds in Japan’s domestic tuning media, and on some of the most respected Lancer and EVO X builds in the Australian community across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth.
For reference on Varis bonnet design history and the role of the classic single-vent profile in Japanese time attack and GT road car culture, visit Option Magazine Japan and Super Taikyu Series Japan — the two most influential Japanese performance car publications and competition series from which the Varis design aesthetic originates.
The Bonnet 1 is the choice for Lancer and EVO X builds that reference this heritage specifically — the foundational Varis profile, in genuine carbon fibre, with the lip configuration that completes the front-edge detail.
Why the Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 is the Best Carbon Bonnet for Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X
1. Classic Single-Vent Profile – The Original Varis Aero Reference
The Bonnet 1 single-vent design is the most recognisable and most historically authentic Varis bonnet profile for the Mitsubishi Lancer and EVO X platform. For builds that reference Japanese performance car culture specifically — time attack inspiration, GT road car aesthetics, JDM build direction — the Bonnet 1 profile is the most credible visual reference in the entire Bodykitbae range.
No other bonnet number references the original Varis aesthetic as directly as the Bonnet 1. This is the foundational design — the starting point from which all other Varis bonnet variants are measured.
2. Unique Lip Configuration Option – Bonnet 1 Exclusive in the Range
The availability of both a Carbon Fibre Front Lip and an Unpainted Lip configuration is a feature unique to the Bonnet 1 within the Bodykitbae range. No other Varis bonnet in the range offers this dual lip configuration choice — making Bonnet 1 the only bonnet that can be ordered with either a carbon fibre leading edge or a paintable leading edge depending on the build direction.
For carbon exterior builds — the Carbon Fibre Front Lip extends the exposed carbon surface to the bonnet’s leading edge, creating a continuous carbon material statement from vent to front lip.
For colour-matched builds — the Unpainted Lip provides a clean, colour-matchable front edge that integrates with the front bumper below in painted colour rather than exposed carbon.
3. Genuine Carbon Fibre and FRP – Real Material, Real Weight Reduction
The Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 is constructed from genuine carbon fibre and FRP — not carbon-look vinyl wrap, not printed ABS plastic, not glossy black metal. Real woven carbon fibre is visible across the bonnet surface under the UV-resistant gloss clear coat. Real weight reduction is delivered — typically 50–70% lighter than the factory steel bonnet — reducing front axle mass with measurable handling benefits for EVO X and Lancer owners who track their cars. For independent reference on carbon fibre composite bonnet construction and weight properties, visit Composites Australia.
4. Made-to-Order Precision – Correct Fitment Every Time
Like every bonnet in the Bodykitbae range, the Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 is made to order — 8 weeks from order to delivery — ensuring that every bonnet is produced with the correct tooling, the correct material layup, and the correct dimensional accuracy for a precise fit on the Lancer CJ, Ralliart, and EVO X hinge and latch mounting points.
Two Lip Options – Carbon Fibre Front Lip vs Unpainted Lip
The Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 is the only bonnet in the Bodykitbae range that offers a choice of front lip configuration. This choice defines the bonnet’s front-edge material identity — and choosing the correct option before ordering is important because the lip is integrated into the bonnet at the made-to-order production stage.
| Feature | Carbon Fibre Front Lip | Unpainted Lip |
|---|---|---|
| Lip Material | Genuine carbon fibre | Raw FRP — paintable |
| Lip Finish | Exposed gloss carbon weave | Unpainted — ready for colour match |
| Front Edge Identity | Carbon fibre to the leading edge — continuous carbon surface | Painted lip — integrates with front bumper colour |
| Best For | Full carbon exterior builds, show cars, carbon detail direction | Colour-matched builds, two-tone builds, painted front edge |
| Visual Character | Carbon bonnet + carbon lip — complete carbon front statement | Carbon bonnet body + painted lip — subtle contrast |
| Price | $1,400.00 AUD | $1,400.00 AUD |
⚠️ Select your lip configuration before ordering. The lip option is determined at the production stage — it cannot be changed after production commences. Contact our Bodykitbae Sydney team to confirm your preferred configuration before placing your order.
Carbon Fibre Front Lip — The Continuous Carbon Choice
The Carbon Fibre Front Lip extends the genuine carbon fibre material of the bonnet body to the front leading edge — the point where the bonnet overhangs the front bumper when closed. On a build where the front bumper is also carbon look or carbon finished, the carbon lip creates a continuous carbon front statement across bonnet, lip, and bumper without any material or colour break at the bonnet-to-bumper transition zone.
Best For: Show cars, carbon exterior builds, any build where the carbon fibre language extends across the full front-end of the car from bonnet to bumper line.
Unpainted Lip — The Painted Integration Choice
The Unpainted Lip provides a clean FRP front edge that accepts any paint finish — factory body colour, gloss black, two-tone contrast, or any custom finish your build requires. When painted in body colour, the lip integrates the bonnet seamlessly into the front end of the Lancer or Ralliart — the Varis single-vent carbon surface above the front bumper line, with a body-colour lip finishing the bonnet’s leading edge in the same colour as the front bumper and guards below.
Best For: Colour-matched street builds, EVO X front-end conversions where the bonnet lip is painted to match, and any build where a painted front edge is preferred over exposed carbon at the bonnet’s leading edge.

The Visual and Performance Transformation – Bonnet 1 at Every Angle
The factory Mitsubishi Lancer CJ and Ralliart bonnet is a flat steel panel. It communicates nothing — no performance intent, no build direction, no aero identity.
The Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 communicates all of these things simultaneously — and it does it with the restraint and precision of the classic single-vent design rather than the maximum-drama approach of the higher-numbered Varis variants.
From above: The single Varis vent runs across the bonnet width in a clean, precise horizontal — the carbon fibre surface surrounding it catching light at every angle. At a Sydney car show, the Bonnet 1 top-down carbon presence is unmistakable from across the display floor. At a Melbourne car meet drone shot, the single-vent Varis profile is immediately identifiable as a deliberate, considered aesthetic choice that references genuine Japanese aero culture.
From the driver’s seat: The raised Varis vent enters peripheral vision over the steering wheel — the subtle but constant reminder, on every drive across Brisbane coastal roads or Perth highways, that this is a car whose bonnet was chosen with specific intent.
From the front and side: The carbon fibre surface transitions cleanly to the chosen front lip — either in continuous carbon or in body colour — creating the front-edge detail that defines the bonnet’s relationship with the front bumper and front guards below it.
Performance: The weight reduction from genuine carbon fibre and FRP construction versus the factory steel bonnet is significant — typically 50–70% lighter — reducing front axle mass, improving front-to-rear weight balance, and delivering marginally better steering feel and braking nose control for EVO X and Lancer owners who use their cars on track days across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane circuits. For authoritative reference on carbon fibre weight reduction in performance car applications, see Wheels Magazine Australia and Composites Australia.
Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 in Your Complete Exterior Build
The Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 is the top-of-car anchor for a classic Varis aero direction exterior build — pairing naturally with Varis front and rear bumpers, the Varis Diffuser, and the Varis Widebody Kit to create a complete front-to-rear Varis aero exterior that references the most authentic Japanese performance car aero heritage available for the Lancer and EVO X platform in Australia.
| Exterior Component | Product | Visual Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Bonnet | Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 ✅ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Varis single-vent carbon |
| Front Bumper | Varis Style Front Bumpers | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Front Varis aero pairing |
| Rear Bumper | Varis Style Rear Bumper | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Full Varis perimeter |
| Rear Diffuser | Varis Diffuser | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ground-level Varis aero |

| Mirror Covers | Carbon Fibre Side Mirror Covers | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Side carbon detail |
| Side Pillar Covers | Carbon Fibre Side Pillar Covers | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Carbon side profile |
| Side Skirts | Mitsubishi Side Skirts | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Full perimeter aero |
The Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 with Carbon Fibre Front Lip is the natural complement to a Varis front bumper below it — together the carbon lip of the bonnet and the carbon aero elements of the Varis bumper create a seamless carbon front statement across the entire front of the car.

Carbon Fibre Bonnet Care & Maintenance
The Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 requires specific care to maintain the gloss carbon finish and UV-resistant clear coat across its service life in Australian conditions.
UV Protection: Australian UV intensity — particularly in Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth — is among the highest in the world. Apply a dedicated carbon fibre or clear coat UV protectant wax or sealant every 3–6 months. For Australian-appropriate carbon fibre UV protection products, see Detail Central Australia.
Washing: Use only pH-neutral car shampoo and a soft microfibre wash mitt. Avoid abrasive brushes, harsh detergents, and automated car wash roller systems — all can introduce fine scratches into the UV-resistant clear coat over the carbon surface.
Front Lip Care: The front lip — whether Carbon Fibre or Unpainted (painted) — sits at the leading edge of the bonnet and is exposed to stone chip impact from normal driving. Paint Protection Film (PPF) applied to the front lip is strongly recommended for any Lancer or EVO X used regularly on Australian roads or motorways. For PPF guidance, see I-CAR Australia.
Bonnet Pins for Competition: For vehicles used in competition or track days, bonnet pins are strongly recommended as an additional safety retention measure. Confirm bonnet pin requirements with Motorsport Australia for your specific competition class before fitment.

Installation Guide – Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1
⚠️ TRIAL FIT BEFORE ANY PAINT: If you have ordered the Unpainted Lip option and plan to paint the lip, always trial fit the bonnet and confirm panel gap alignment, latch engagement, and scoop clearance on the car before committing the lip to paint. Panel gap adjustment is far simpler on an unpainted component.
Required Tools
- 10mm and 12mm sockets and ratchet
- Panel gap tools
- Masking tape — to protect front guards and windscreen cowl
- Two people — one to hold the bonnet during hinge bolt removal and installation
- Torque wrench — for correct hinge bolt torque to specification
Step-by-Step Installation Overview
1. Prepare the Vehicle: Park on level surface. Open factory bonnet fully. Apply masking tape along the top edge of both front guards and the windscreen cowl — protecting adjacent painted panels from contact during bonnet swap.
2. Photograph Factory Hinge Position: Before removal, photograph or mark the hinge bolt position relative to the bonnet mounting slots as a reference for aligning the new bonnet.
3. Support the Factory Bonnet — Two-Person: Have a second person fully support the factory bonnet weight before any hinge bolts are removed. This step is mandatory — a dropped bonnet causes significant panel and paint damage.
4. Disconnect Bonnet Stay or Gas Strut: Unclip the stay rod from the bonnet socket or disconnect the gas strut upper mount. Lower to stowed position.
5. Remove Factory Bonnet Hinge Bolts: With the second person supporting full bonnet weight, remove all hinge mounting bolts — typically two bolts per hinge, one hinge each side.
6. Remove Factory Bonnet: Carefully lift the factory bonnet clear with both people. Store flat with protective padding.
7. Offer Up Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1: With two people, lift the Bonnet 1 and align it to the hinge mounting positions. Leave all hinge bolts loose — do not tighten before confirming panel gaps.
8. Adjust Panel Gaps: Check all four sides — front edge to front bumper, both sides to front guards. Adjust hinge position for even gaps before tightening.
9. Confirm Front Lip Clearance: With the bonnet in the adjusted gap position, confirm the front lip — Carbon Fibre or Unpainted — clears the front bumper correctly when the bonnet is fully closed. The Varis front lip profile overhangs the front bumper edge and must clear the bumper surface and any front lip attached below.
10. Confirm Vent Clearance: Close the bonnet and confirm the single Varis vent geometry clears the windscreen seal and wiper cowl correctly — confirm no contact across the full range of bonnet open and close motion.
11. Torque Hinge Bolts: With gaps correct and all clearances confirmed, torque all hinge bolts to factory specification.
12. Adjust Bonnet Latch Striker: Adjust latch striker height as needed for positive latch engagement with the bonnet sitting flush to the front guard top edges on both sides.
13. Reconnect Bonnet Stay or Gas Strut: Reconnect to the new bonnet mounting point. Confirm the bonnet holds fully open under its own support.
14. Final Inspection: Open and close the bonnet multiple times. Confirm positive latch engagement, even panel gaps on all four sides, front lip and vent clearances, and correct Varis single-vent profile alignment with the front guards.

SEO FAQs – Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X Australia
What is the Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 and what makes it different from other bonnets in the range?
The Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 is the foundational design in the Bodykitbae Varis carbon bonnet range — featuring the classic single-vent Varis aero profile that is the most historically authentic and most heritage-referenced Varis bonnet design for the Mitsubishi Lancer CJ, Ralliart, and EVO X platform. At $1,400.00 AUD it is uniquely the only bonnet in the nine-bonnet range that offers a lip configuration choice — Carbon Fibre Front Lip or Unpainted Lip — at the time of ordering. It is made to order with an 8-week production lead time.
What is the difference between the Carbon Fibre Front Lip and the Unpainted Lip options?
The Carbon Fibre Front Lip extends the genuine carbon fibre material of the bonnet to its leading front edge — delivering a continuous carbon surface from the Varis vent to the front lip where the bonnet meets the front bumper line. The Unpainted Lip is a raw FRP front edge ready for professional paint application in body colour, gloss black, or any custom finish. Choose the Carbon Fibre Front Lip for full carbon exterior builds. Choose the Unpainted Lip for colour-matched or two-tone builds. Contact our Bodykitbae Sydney team to confirm your preferred option before ordering — it cannot be changed once production commences.
Is the Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 made from real carbon fibre?
Yes. The Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 is constructed from genuine carbon fibre and FRP — not carbon-look vinyl wrap, not printed plastic. Real woven carbon fibre is visible across the bonnet surface under the UV-resistant gloss clear coat. The Carbon Fibre Front Lip option is also genuine carbon fibre. For technical reference on carbon fibre composite material properties, visit Composites Australia.
Does the Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 fit my Mitsubishi EVO X?
Yes. The Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 fits the Mitsubishi Lancer CJ, Lancer Ralliart, and EVO X from 2008 onwards — all three models share compatible bonnet hinge and mounting architecture. It is a direct OEM-replacement fitment on all three platforms.
Why is the Bonnet 1 the only bonnet in the range with a lip option?
The Bonnet 1 is the foundational classic Varis design — and the front lip is an integral part of the original Varis bonnet aesthetic that the Bonnet 1 references. The lip configuration gives buyers the choice between a full carbon leading edge (Carbon Fibre Front Lip) or a paintable leading edge (Unpainted Lip), making the Bonnet 1 the most versatile bonnet in the range for different build directions. No other bonnet in the nine-bonnet Bodykitbae range offers this dual configuration.
How long is the wait time for the Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1?
The Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 is made to order with an 8-week wait time from the date your order is placed and payment is confirmed. Contact our Bodykitbae Sydney team before ordering to confirm current lead times and your chosen lip configuration. Full payment is required at time of order to commence production.
Does Bodykitbae ship the Varis Style Carbon Fibre Bonnet 1 across Australia?
Yes. We ship Australia-wide from our Blacktown, Sydney NSW warehouse once production is complete. Total lead time is 8 weeks manufacture plus domestic shipping.
