As far as cheap front lips are concerned, what's the current best options?

Unfortunately, I scraped the lip on my 2017 BRZ the other day

Looking to get something cheap to protect it for now, until I can get my hands on a full and quality kit. I've viewed a lot of those older threads, but not sure if much has changed since 2013.

Thanks!

Coming back to this again. Sent out some emails to different places, and all confirm that they're product wont fit a 2017 BRZ.

Are there any that someone here could confirm DOES fit? Budget would be $200 max.

im not too sure on what kind of splitters these are but i think you may just be able to put the splitters made already for the previous years for the brz and the frs... you can go to ft86speedfactory and email them if you have any questions



just wanna post a pic of my car.. just installed coils on my car, sitting pretty low haha scrapped on the way out of the garage after they installed it

Hey guys, mitch from ProTEKt here.

He already have the 2017 Toyota 86 plates in stock and ready to ship, but I'm still looking for a 2017 BRZ in the so cal area to borrow for prototyping.

Feel free to PM me if you are interested.

Thanks,
Mitch

Hey Mitch,

I can add you to the R&D thread if you would like...I just need some contact info (email, phone number, etc.), and how long you think it would take to do the measuring/fitting

You could get an APR front splitter, the Brz/frs one will be almost close in shape to the 2017 front bumper. its all manual to drill holes into the bottom of your bumper to mount it.
