Defang FR-S / GT86 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

stea1thbear · 03-03-2013, 05:12 PM

Looking for a solution to "defang" the fr-s, meaning blending the two points of the fr-s front bumper into a straight line. I don't want to use an entire body kit and I don't want to replace the front bumper, something small like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...ectorid=229466 but that sticks out further so the fangs are blended in.

Or something like this http://www.vertex-usa.com/catalog/pr...&cat=91&page=1 but that doesn't go all the way to the ends then requires side skirts to keep the lines of the car.

Chargespeed defangs the front end

Edit: nvm you aren't looking to replace the front bumper.

After further inspection, the fitting looks a bit off since it is under the existing bumper and does not blend at all, will keep looking...

Been a few months, still looking, so far this is the best option I can find: http://westcoastprojects.com/?produc...sion-front-lip

TRD front lip

Those don't blend very well with stock bumper, hate the bolted/taped on look.

Can't seem to find a lot of bumper options that don't also require side skirts to blend in with the stock side and height, I saw the chargespeed one that I don't like and that is about it. Who else makes a bumper?
