brz - front bumper options - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

cantaloupe · 09-07-2012, 04:25 PM

Anyone know what options there are to replace the front bumper? Don't like the part that sticks out. The FR-S one is nice, but don't think it's possible to find anyone willing to trade and not sure if they are even interchangeable.

woops can a mod please move this to the correct forum? Didn't realize I was in the wrong one. Thanks!

I should reword my request. I wanted to know if there was any way to change the grille part of the bumper. But reading some previous posts it looks like there is no way to do that without replacing the whole bumper which looks costly...

you should have thought that before you brought the brz, the front bumper is pretty much the only reason why i wont get the brz

I did. But everything else I preferred over the fr-s. It's something I can live with, it doesn't look as bad in real life compared to pictures, but I wouldn't mind changing it if possible.

To me, the BRZ bumper is far better looking than the FRS. FRS just has a stretched camry bumper...

I like to point this out to people who have absolute disdain for the BRZ bumper but love the FRS bumper haha. The FRS bumper is just an extension of the current toyota design language, so it just looks like a more aggressive version of a camry, avalon, and now corolla (which ironically looks like an FRS but with the BRZ mustache added to it). The BRZ has its fair share of issues of course. There's a lot going on in terms of design lines, and while I don't mind it, obviously the mustache is an issue to a lot of people (functionally its been quite nice though, as I find most bugs and rocks end up hitting that part of the bumper rather than the paint). At the end of the day, both cars look nice, but as Jeremy Clarkson put it, they're both not really that REALLY that exciting or beautiful to look at.

I really don't like it. The 86 bumper looked good to me until I noticed the common design language, and I just... Can't un-see it.
