Toyota vs Subaru parts prices???!
Alright I really don't know where I should post it but guess this shouldn't be too far off. I just have this confusion with ordering parts for my car! Since my fender has been trashed by some douche I have to replace it.. Since I have scion frs I check the price at Toyota and the fender was around $400 for one!!! Where as Subaru also has the same one for $180 is there a catch to this or something??? Are the fenders made differently or does the Subaru fender only fit the brz?? But aren't all of the twins parts the same except lights and front bumper?? I'm afraid it would not fit my fra if I got Subaru Brz fender!

I've found that the Subaru dealer is MUCH cheaper for all of the parts on this car.

All the sheetmetal in an FRS is already stamped Subaru so you're fine!
