The Toyota GR Supra A90 hood is one of the most distinctive on any modern sports car. A carbon fiber replacement removes 25-35 lbs from the nose while adding the depth and drama only real dry carbon delivers.
Weight Savings
The factory steel hood weighs approximately 38-42 lbs. A quality dry carbon hood weighs 7-10 lbs. That is a 28-32 lb reduction at the nose of a car already designed around precise weight distribution — meaningfully improving front-to-rear balance and braking response.
Vented vs Flat Carbon Hoods
Vented hoods include heat-extraction openings for hot air from the turbocharged B58 engine bay. On track-driven or tuned Supras, engine bay heat is a real concern and a vented hood measurably improves underhood temperatures. Vented hoods are more aggressive visually. Flat carbon hoods deliver the same weight reduction with a cleaner, more OEM-integrated appearance — ideal for owners who want the carbon transformation without changing the car's design language.
Fitment and Installation
A90 hoods may vary slightly by model year — confirm year-specific fitment before ordering. Installation requires transferring the factory hinge hardware, prop rod, and latch. Professional installation is recommended. Expect 1-2 hours at a shop for proper panel gap alignment.
Visual Impact
The Supra's long hood makes carbon one of the most impactful single upgrades on the platform. The contrast between carbon weave and factory body color — especially on white, yellow, or silver Supras — is dramatic. This is the upgrade that makes people stop and look twice.
