ps request: swp gt86 with brz front bumper
 
Hello

Just a simple request, I wish if I was good at photoshop but I was wondering if someone can make one for me.
I always wanted a brz cuz of its front end looks so much butter than the 86 but since its so much more expensive than a gt86 here I guess I will end up with the 86 (base brz cost $37k while nur spec 86 cost only $33k)

I don't really see the point...just look at a brz, it's the same car.

Front end is not the same! different head lights and different bumper..... what I wanted to see how it looks in "gt86 headlighs with brz bumper"

not expert in PS but after spending almost 2 hours here what I ment (I know its crappy PS)

I thought the headlights weren't compatible.

As far as I'm aware putting 86 headlights into a BRZ bumper would require a slight amount of cutting. This is because the 86 headlights are slightly longer in the inner corners.

You can see this in the photos above ^ There's a bit of black rubber exposed on the inner corner of the BRZ lights because the BRZ bumper would normally cover that.

But yes, the lights are 99% compatible :)

Now this is the true ToyoBaru...

Sounds like you just need to save your money for awhile and buy the BRZ and call it a day. All of this extra swap stuff is going to cost almost the same in parts and labor anyways (cheaper if you do the work yourself ofcourse)

I don't think cutting will be required. If I'm correct, the headlights are both the same dimensions and size. The only difference is that the exposed plastic you see on the BRZ headlights is just covering the rest of the headlight from getting scratched when it's under the bumper. I'm sure that plastic can be removed somehow.

Yes, the headlights are the same size. The bumper has a covering over the rest of the headlight on the BRZ.
