Putting an FRS front bumper on a BRZ - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

larryw · 02-10-2013, 08:18 PM

I was wondering, what issues do you know that you'd run into doing this? I haven't had a chance to take off see the details on an FRS front bumper to make the comparison. The main things I'm concerned about are:

Are the bumper supports the same size? (I'm 99% sure they are).
Would the light sockets on the BRZ match up to directly to the FRS? (headlights, bottom turn signals)
The only thing I would really need is the bumper skin and bottom turn signal lights from the FRS?

Any input from people that have seen the details of both cars would be appreciated.

why didn't you get a FRS in the first place?

He crashed his front bumper and would rather put the FRS bumper on as a replacement.

Headlights, HIDS, interior styling

Why would you need the turn signals of the FRS? The BRZ has it in the headlights

I just need the actual piece in place. Otherwise, there'd be an empty hole where the light is supposed to be. I dont intend on using that as my turn signal.

cover those holes with something :P

If I remember correctly, it'll bolt right up.

Someone in the aftermarket should really make a signal lamp delete for those that want to do this, or that want to put the BRZ headlights onto the FRS.

I'd be really interested to see how that turns out. A lot of FRS folks bought it just for the front bumper and then have been trying to install as many components as possible which are standard on the BRZ limited. Some are nearly impossible though (Example auto climate control). If you can swap the bumper out, it would seem to be an easier way. Of course, Toyota could just sell the GT 86 here.
