SMOOTH, HANDS-FREE BONNET OPERATION WITH OPTIMAL DAMPING CHARACTERISTICS

The Takumi Project Bonnet Damper is a precision-engineered gas strut system designed specifically for the Toyota GR86 (ZN8) and Subaru BRZ (ZD8) platforms.

Developed to provide effortless, controlled bonnet lifting and secure holding, this damper kit enhances everyday usability and engine bay access while maintaining a clean, integrated appearance.

With optimal damping characteristics tuned for both genuine bonnets and Takumi Project Aero Bonnets (Miyabi/Takumi/Kiwame), this kit represents the perfect blend of functionality and refined engineering.

Product Highlights

🔧 VEHICLE-SPECIFIC DESIGN
Engineered exclusively for the GR86 (ZN8) and BRZ (ZD8) chassis, ensuring precise fitment, proper clearance, and reliable operation without interference with engine bay components.

🔄 OPTIMAL DAMPING CHARACTERISTICS
Carefully calibrated gas pressure provides the ideal reaction force—strong enough to securely hold the bonnet open, yet smooth enough to allow controlled, effortless closing without excessive force.

🏎️ AERO BONNET COMPATIBILITY
Specifically tuned to work optimally with both factory genuine bonnets and Takumi Project Aero Bonnets (Miyabi/Takumi/Kiwame series), accounting for the weight and balance characteristics of lightweight FRP and carbon fiber bonnets.

✨ IMPROVED WORKABILITY
Eliminates the need for the factory prop rod, providing hands-free bonnet access for engine maintenance, modifications, and show presentations. The smooth assisted opening makes engine bay access more convenient and professional.

🔩 CLEAN, INTEGRATED INSTALLATION
Designed to mount using existing bonnet and chassis mounting points, maintaining a factory-like appearance without permanent modifications or unsightly brackets.
