2017 front bumper - 2 different versions?
 

I'm putting a 2017 86 front bumper cover on my 2015 model year FR-S. But there are two different options: one ending in STD, the other ending in HI (which evidently stands for "High Type"). I have no idea what the difference is between these two and I've called a bunch of parts departments, none of them can tell me the difference either. Does anyone have any clue what the difference might be?? And I'm pretty sure it's not fog lights.

Thanks!

just curious and everyone to their own, but why are you putting an 86 bumper on the FRS? them shits look like the face of a child who never had braces and got socked in the mouth

Don't know the difference between the 2 but you will not be disappointed in the changeover. Unlike the guy above the bumper looks so much better in person

like the lady said who kissed a cow "everybody to their own tastes"

Wasn't that the advertising slogan Pontiac used for the Aztek?

People are going to defend whatever they got but If I wanted the old style could have saved cash used. Don't like the ugly turn signal/fog light area on the old one. Would look better as a functional brake duct.

I'm $0.02 richer, ty

crazy how much hate the 17 bumper has brought, it still looks great especially in person...not like the 13-16 86 bumper is outright gorgeous, has weird angles too. People act like the differences are so significant between the 13-16/17 86 & BRZ bumpers, they all give the car the same general front end look..sure grill shapes are different, but that is it really..

not sure what is so hideous compared to the 13-16 bumper?

The lines don't match anything else on the car, was supposedly done for aero (on a car this slow) and to add some "aggressiveness".

I just don't look at it anymore.

If I wanted a moustache, I'd buy a BRZ.

I'm guessing the "High" has headlight washer drawers and "Std" doesn't.

I think it looks even worse. It's one of those things where I say, "Oh, hey, there's an 86--GAH!"

You know, I was one of the first here to decry the looks of the '17 front, but even I agree that in certain colors it's better in person than in photos.

Still not good, but slightly less wretched.

OK we get it people don't like it. The OP wanted an answer to his question about the difference in part # not opinions. :threadjacked:


I chose its over the big mustache of the brz which they have failed to correct on the 17's. With a drop makes the car look low and wide in the front not thin and pointy. Styling bounces back and forth between angular and curvy every 10 years or so. The run on trapezoidal grills will be over soon

I'm curious if you can swap the headlights instead and still keep the Zenki 13-16 front bumper. I mean it would be a good option instead of the overpriced Monogram Headlights.
