swap brz front end with fr-s?
Well since i was thinking the fr-s is cheaper it be nicer to just buy a fr-s and then swap the front ends since i prefer the brz front end. Anyone have that idea? Or think its unpractical?

and swap the better looking FRS bumper. I'm not a fan of the stupid smile on the BRZ. |

Just be sure to buy the car in a color that's shared between models, so bumper swapping will be quick and easy w/out paint. I'm sure plenty of people will be doing this.

I have thought about this...I want the BRZ front end as well. I sure there will be people willing to swap and whatnot. Oh and for the guy who said make sure its the same color, thanks for the tip moto.
