2017 front bumper - 2 different versions?

[DirtySouth86]

Both style bumpers look fine to me. The pre-2017 standard model head lights and tail lights were cheesy looking though compared to the 17's.

it'd be interesting to have the headlight washer assembly installed and functioning as I don't think anybody ever tried that on a USDM twin. That'd be very unique.

This is probably the answer you were looking for

I have headlight washers on my '13 GT86. (EUDM "High" spec)
They're not very effective. I don't think I'd notice if they stopped working.
So my advice: Don't bother, spend time & money on something else.

If your car has headlights washer, then get the one with the headlights washer. With that said however, even if you get the other one, on the back of the bumper you have the template to cut it anyways, so easy enough to dremel that part out at some point.

Hope this helps.

Here you go. The swap is straight forward. I also rewired the signals to work with the integrated LED lights. As of now, my OEM zenki signals are useless.

But Im going to swap over to the kouki bumper anyways so its only temporary.

Yep, this makes sense. I believe you're right. I ended up going with the standard version because I needed to order ASAP, but I don't have headlight washers so it looks like I'm not missing anything.

As for the bumper style debate, when I first saw pictures of the '17 front bumper, I hated it. But when I saw it in person, it really changed my opinion on it. And every friend I've asked about it (after they had also seen it in person) also likes it more. So it's just one of those bumpers that really does look much better in person, especially with a bit of a drop. Ultimately it's a matter of opinion, but I can't wait to do the facelift. Personally I have barely seen any '17s on the road so around where I live it will make mine a bit unique as well.

I like the new bumper too. The 17's look awesome.

Good luck with the project, and post photos!

This is exactly how I felt about it... when I saw the first pictures on the internet, I was immediately turned off ... but when I saw it in person it looked a lot better to me.

Kiss the cod. *shrug*

Don't shoot me, but I have a 17 BRZ and want to swap out the front bumper for the 17 86 one. Will it fit or is there some modification needed to make it work?

It seems like no matter which car you're talking about, zenki owners always hate on the looks of the kouki. My previous car was an RX-8 and it seemed like everyone hated the facelift (in reality it looks great). I took my car autocrossing last week and I'm totally stock. There were two really bad ass looking FRSs there and a corner worker came up to me and told me mine looked meaner going through the course! LOL.

I will say that I think the '17 front looks a little too aggressive at stock height and can't wait to get mine lowered.

I have no idea what the difference is between these two and I've called a bunch of parts departments, none of them can tell me the difference either. Does anyone have any clue what the difference might be?? And I'm pretty sure it's not fog lights.

Thanks!

Hey guys sorry to re awaken an old thread but was just curious what is the OEM part number for the 86 front bumper without headlight washer.
