Would you put a FR-S bumper on a BRZ? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

This is a BRZ:

and for the record, yeah, I'd do it. I mean, why would a 180SX owner ever put a Silvia front on their car?

Because they can't get or afford a Silvia. Especially If said person lives in the states. But here the frs is cheaper so it seems dumb to buy a brz and then change it to an frs front.

dude, that went so far over your head. SO. DAMN. FAR.

I'm at a total loss for what to use as a witty comment to make fun of you

If you're going to all that trouble look for an aftermarket bumper that you like. Maybe room for future intake, intercooler, etc.

If you think the status on a mid 20k car is any different than the status of a high 20k car you're fucking nuts

PLEASE.DO.CLARIFY.

All I am saying it that changing the 180sx front end to a Silvia front end is not the same as the BRZ to FRS bumper change... Being that the Silvia front end is not readily available in the states.

It would seem to me since they are essentially the same car that it would make more sense to buy the FRS if you like the look better. Then with the extra money you save add whatever options you wanted from the BRZ. You would also have the option to get better aftermarket variants.

If that was directed towards me then no I don't. Personally I don't think there is really a so called status to be had with a 20k car...

The FRS bumper looks better IMHO. The "extras" that the BRZ comes with would be the reason people would buy it and swap to an FRS front end. Also, as retarded as the whole thing is, a lot of BRZ guys would "never own a scion" lol

To run the rocket bunny kit you need to have the Toyota bumper

No you don't. See my car as an example:

AVodka14 · 12-22-2013, 07:35 PM

If you like the FRS bumper better than your current bumper...do it. I like the BRZ headlights and will eventually put them on my FRS. See no problem with interchanging parts if that is what you prefer. That's the fun of modding/tuning/differentiating.

That looks AWESOME, @VesperLynn
