Engine Bonnet Hood Cover Dry Carbon Fiber for 2013-2020 Subaru BRZ/2016-2020 Toyota 86 GT86 FT86/2012-2016 Scion FR-S

Dry Carbon Fiber Engine Hood for 2013-2020 Subaru BRZ / 2016-2020 Toyota 86 GT86 / 2012-2016 Scion FR-S (ZN6/ZC6 Gen 1)

The Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 (Scion FR-S in North America) are co-developed on the ZN6/ZC6 platform — a rear-wheel-drive sports coupe engineered from the outset around a low center of gravity and precise front-to-rear weight balance. The ZN6/ZC6's front-mounted 2.0L Boxer engine sits particularly low and far rearward in the engine bay, giving the car one of the lowest front-axle weight distributions of any sports car in its class. A dry carbon fiber engine hood reduces front-end unsprung weight by approximately 10 kg compared to the factory steel hood — directly improving the ZN6/ZC6's already-excellent front-to-rear weight balance and reducing nose dive under braking. Full direct-replacement dry carbon hood using factory mounting points and hinges. Professional installation strongly recommended at 109 kg gross shipping weight.

Why a Dry Carbon Hood on the BRZ/86?

• Front-End Weight Reduction — ~10 kg Saved: The factory ZN6/ZC6 steel hood weighs approximately 14–16 kg. A dry carbon replacement hood weighs approximately 4–6 kg — saving approximately 10 kg from the front axle. On a car that weighs approximately 1,250 kg with a 53:47 front-to-rear weight distribution, removing 10 kg from directly above the front axle has a measurable impact on front-end response, turn-in feel, and braking stability.
• Highest-Impact Single Exterior Upgrade for BRZ/86: A full carbon hood is the largest single exterior panel upgrade by surface area and one of the most weight-effective modifications available for the ZN6/ZC6 platform. More weight reduction per dollar than any equivalent exterior carbon component for this platform.
• Cross-Platform Fitment — BRZ, 86, and FR-S: The Subaru BRZ (ZC6), Toyota 86/GT86/FT86 (ZN6), and Scion FR-S (ZN6) share identical engine hood geometry — one product fits three brand variants. All Gen 1 production years confirmed: BRZ 2013–2020, Toyota 86 2016–2020, Scion FR-S 2012–2016.
• 100% Real Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber: Genuine pre-impregnated dry carbon fiber construction with UV-gloss double-layer clear coat. Not wet-lay carbon, not ABS with carbon wrap. 3×3 twill weave surface with consistent carbon gloss across the full hood panel surface.
• Factory Mounting Points: Direct replacement for the factory steel hood — uses factory hinge mounting points and hood prop rod or gas strut. Factory screws. Professional installation strongly recommended.
• UV-Resistant High-Gloss Finish: Double-layer UV-protective clear coat locks in dry carbon gloss and resists fading, surface hazing, and discoloration over time on the ZN6/ZC6's large exposed hood surface.
