BRZ front bumper swap onto FRS questions

Hey, so I've always liked the BRZ front bumper much more than the FRS. I ended up buying an FRS because I was able to get a wayyyy better price on a 10 series, which has most of the BRZ upgrades anyway. So Ive owned the car about two years now, and about a week ago we had a bad ice storm. While trying to get out of a parallel parking spot, a neighbor had to give me a push. In doing so, my car slid way off track and plowed over a bowling ball chunk of ice near the curb, cracking the front corner of my bumper so bad part of it was dragging on the ground. No pics, as I was running late to work and gave it a quick gorilla tape job for the time being...

Anyway, I was thinking now is my chance to do a bumper swap. I've been quoted around ~700 from a local shop for the FRS bumper painted and installed... But I was thinking, what if I buy a BRZ bumper from subaru and have it painted and installed elsewhere... Will I have to buy anything else besides turn signal lights? Do the brz lights plug directly into the frs? All clip points are the same and everything?

Also, will my light up 10 series emblem directly swap over? l thought it was the cheesiest thing ever when I bought the car, but the amount of double takes it produces never gets old!

Im sure this has been answered many times, but my phone is derping out and the search fumcrion isn't working for me at the moment. Thanks!

All the info you could ever want is right here. For future reference, don't use the site's search. Use google.

Everything fits as normal. The easiest thing to do would be to use the BRZ DRLs as your turn signals and tint them yellow. They use the same connector as your FR-S turn signal harness.

Is it just plug and play or does it need to be repined in some fashion?

Sorry extremely late response. Plug-and-play surprisingly. Nothing needs to be repinned.
