eh, just my opinion but I'm not a fan. I think brz lights should stay on brzs and vice versa

Tcoat brought up this idea a while back when I posted pics of the stock BRZ spoiler on my car. Just swap in a repainted BRZ bumper and replace all badges with the subaru logo and brz.

It would've been fun to troll people who don't know much about the car. They'll walk into the dealership asking for an orange BRZ. When the sales people say no such thing exists, they pull up pictures of my car.

This guy put a BRZ bumper on his FR-S:

But I've always been interested in putting BRZ headlights in my FR-S...

Unfortunately, that leads to a gap, because the BRZ lights are a bit smaller:

Haha I was about to do the swap on my old Hot Lava Frs. I sourced a bumper but no headlights. I always loved the color and thought it would match the front end of the BRZ better. I also had the STi lip kit in my garage. The headlights were the hardest to track down for a good price. In the end I sold the car and bought a BRZ from one of the mods here! Oh but do I miss that color...

If the BRZ came in orange, I would've went that route since I wanted the BRZ originally.

Buuuut, upon scrolling through hundreds of lava pics, I fell in love.

^ hot lava @ Pacific Northwest when it's raining all the time? I don't know about that.

But then again Tcoat is in a hot lava & drives it in the snow all the time?? Lol The image in my mind is just too funny.
