converting brz front to frs - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

slava · 06-30-2014, 03:12 AM

Other than just the front bumper and headlights, is there anything else I should be aware of for this? What type of wiring will be required? Will be getting the ft86 hid's.

Thanks.

Why? You already have the brz drl's just the front bumper will look sick

Unless you like the look you don't "need" the headlights.

You're going to need the front turn signals if you switch the lights, so you're going to have to wire those up somehow.

I just like the look better. This is purely for aesthetics.

I wouldn't bother with the headlights, brz ones are much better.

Just like everyone has said. Just swap the bumper out and call it a day. You shouln't need to rewire anything unless you want to tap the FRS turn signals into the BRZ headlight turn signals to make them functional.

In what way?

Your going to need to change the emblems too as well as the fender garnish oh and don't forget the steering wheel and the floor mats along with the Radio. Make sure they say Subaru.

It has indicators.
No need for an extra harness or splicing.
Free up area for ducting.

Bumper is one of the main reasons I didn't buy a BRZ

If you knew you preferred the FR-S bumper you should've just bought a FR-S lol.
