Front Bumpers interchangeable?

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone had experience/knowledge with this... I'm looking to swap out my BRZ front bumper for an FR-S front bumper. Does anyone know if they are interchangeable / straightforward bolt on? Also, would I use new headlights? I believe the answers to both those questions would be yes, but I'm not sure.

I called the folks at the Scion body shop here locally and they didn't know for sure either.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Funk! Do you know if it would require new headlights? I just ask because most of the ads I've seen out there for BRZ or FR-S headlights seem to be brand specific...
Have you done this yourself or know anyone who has?

no you don't need new headlights or anything you just take your brz bumper off and same way you took it off put the new one back on its all the same just the Brz headlights have the Led around the headlight me personally I like it more then the frs because the brz has Xenon blub and the frs is just a standard blub . but I got side tracked there anyways yes it will work its honestly pretty easy . and there was a thread around here a guy took his frs bumper off and bought a brz one and put it on .

Awesome, thanks again Funk!
That should save me some $ having them install it. I'll just do it myself

if you have a link to that thread it would be nice to see.
Really appreciate the info!
