FROM STOCK TO STYLED: SUBARU ENGINE DRESS-UP ESSENTIALS
Your Subaru’s engine delivers plenty of performance, but when you pop the hood, the factory styling doesn’t exactly impress. From the dull yellow caps that fade over time to the basic black plastic alternator cover, the OEM setup leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to looks. Whether you’re getting ready for a car show, putting the final touches on your build, or just want to add a little custom flair under the hood, we’ll walk you through some of the best ways to dress up your Subaru engine with options from IAG Performance.
STEP UP YOUR SHROUDS
One of the first things you might notice when looking under the hood of your Subaru are the unsightly factory fender shrouds near the strut towers. Made from flimsy poly-foam and flocked in material that fades and traps dirt, they don’t hold up well over time—and they don’t do your engine bay any favors in the looks department. The IAG VA Fender Shrouds are a solid replacement, designed to clean up those gaps with durable aluminum panels that follow the contours of the VA chassis. The precision fit adds a clean, refined look, while the hex-cut design allows airflow around heat-sensitive components. Each shroud is powder-coated black and paired with a second color plate that shows through the cutouts for a custom pop of color. With multiple color options and a quick, no-drill installation, you can sharpen up your Subaru’s engine bay in just 15 minutes.
DITCH THE FACTORY PLASTIC
Right in the middle of your engine bay sits the alternator cover—and unfortunately, the factory version is just a basic plastic panel that does nothing for the overall look. If you're already adding custom touches elsewhere, this part starts to stand out for all the wrong reasons. The IAG Alternator Cover is another easy solution that replaces the OEM piece with a more durable, more attractive alternative featuring IAG’s signature hex pattern and the same high-quality aluminum construction as the IAG Fender Shrouds. It also shares the same color options—red, neon yellow, black, white, blue, or pink—making it easy to achieve a cohesive look throughout your engine bay.
DONE PRETENDING THOSE CAPS LOOK FINE?
It's hard to look past the factory caps once you've started cleaning up your engine bay. Between the faded yellow color and cheap plastic construction, they stick out like a sore thumb—and after years of heat cycles and grime, they usually don’t look (or feel) any better. The IAG Revolve Cap Kit gives you an easy way to get rid of those eyesores once and for all. Available as a complete kit, it replaces your oil, brake, clutch, coolant, washer, and power steering caps with anodized billet aluminum versions that fit Subaru platforms like the WRX, STI, BRZ, FXT, and LGT with factory-level accuracy.
THESE CAPS AREN'T JUST FOR SHOW
The caps in the IAG Revolve Cap Kit don’t just clean up your engine bay—they’re built to last. Each one is precision-machined from 6061 billet aluminum for better heat resistance and durability than factory plastic. The anodized finish holds up over time and adds a premium look. At the center of each cap is a removable insert, available in silver, red, blue, black, gold, or purple. Each insert is laser-etched with the correct fluid symbol—oil, brake, clutch, coolant, washer, and power steering, but can be flipped to show the solid color. The inserts are easy to swap in seconds, thanks to the accessible design inside each cap—just use a small tool to pop the insert out and choose your preferred side.
