Front lip/splitter for 2017 BRZ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Cheve · 02-04-2017, 02:46 AM

Hi all,

I think I saw a similar thread but I couldn't find it... Anyways, the thing is that I want to add a simple front lip/splitter to my car. But it seems that currently the only option is the STI lip, which I don't like that much because of those pointy corners.

So, I was thinking about something like

or

But they all tell me that they don't fit the 2017 bumper...

Is it actually that different from the previous generation? From they pictures they seem to have the same shape.

I have Bayson R on my car (the cheap eBay crap) and I love it. People love to say bad things about it, but I love mine. I am not sure if it fits the 2017s.

As far as I know the official STI part from Subaru is the only one out for the '17s right now. Shouldn't take too long for the Chinese repros hit eBay, I'd imagine.

He said the pre-2017 is also for 2017. I hate the 2017 looks too, too busy.

Yess! Thank you!! I saw that post many weeks ago but couldn't find it again. I had those images in my mind, but didn't remember how was the fitting. I guess that's what is actually bugging me, I don't know if I'm just told that it doesn't fit because the sellers want to be on the safe side, o because they actually do not fit.

I agree that one may look a bit busy (I guess mostly because of those fins on both sides), that's the reason I was thinking about a splitter (or a "splitter").

Officially, it doesn't fit due to how the template lines up with the bottom of the bumper.

Unofficially, it fits just fine because the width of the bumper didn't change, and nothing's underneath the bumper that would get in the way of the mounting locations.

That's it, really, for the STI lip.

Ok! I just ordered the Devsport lip. We'll see how it goes...

Sure. I got the Bayson lip also

Will try both and post pictures (by the end of April).

Another angle of the 2017 STI lip. At first I thought the angles were a little weird but it's grown on me and I think fits in with the rest of the kit.

Also, check out the rear/side angle of the front lip. The angle of the lip really makes this pop.
