FRS Bumper swap on Facelift 2017+ GT86 Toyota

[overd0sed]

Hello everyone, would I be able to put a FRS bumper onto my 2017+ GT86? I really like the frs trd front lip. Thanks everyone!

The bumper will fit if you also swap the headlight brackets. But you need to figure out how to deal with the turn signals in the FR-S bumper. That is why no one does the swap.

Hey thanks for the reply!

The turn signals on the 2017+ GT86/BRZ shines from the headlights. Would a FRS front bumper swap affect that turn signals?

I made the swap. You can find blinkers covers on japanese market.

Hey gpvecchi, thanks for your comment. I am a beginner to this and really want to make the switch. Could you elaborate on the blinker cover or do you have a link to the product so I can visualize it? Thank you!

The new bumper will not affect the turn signals in your 2017+ headlights. The FR-S has the turn signals in the front bumper.


Either you can install the FR-S turn signals and wire them up in addition to the 2017+ headlight turn signals (so you will have 2 sets of turn signals on each side) or you can get something to fit into the FR-S turn signal openings. I have seen brake vents that fit into the turn signal openings before.

Did you use the brake vents or something else? I would love to see some pics of your setup if you have any.

Thanks! When you made the bumper swap with the frs headlight brackets did it sit flush on the gt86 body?

[gpvecchi]

You need the bumper, headlight brackets, headlights washers and caps (if you have them), tow hook cap, side blinkers brackets rivets, front logo, fog light grills (closed grills, if have fog lights, you need fog lights too).
Sitting perfectly. On the japanese market you can find a genuine Subaru accessory, led fog lights for pre facelift, made by PIAA.

If i dont use this cover for the frs bumper do you know if I would be able to wire the blinkers for it to work as well? My goal is to have the headlights, frs blinkers, and frs foglights to all work

[gpvecchi]

The plug is the same, but it misses the blinker wire. The FRS fog lights have 4 bolts, the facelift have 3 bolts.
You should probably get the cable for blikers and foglight from pre facelift GT86 and add a custom wire from the plug to the headlights (I don't know if this is present in facelift cars).

Thanks! I didn't really worry to much about the fog lights or frs blinkers working as I just wanted to make sure the whole swap fits with all the frs blinkers/fog lights. Prefer the frs trd lip kit.
