Thanks for the heads up!

How much do you think replacing the BRZ bumper would be? Aftermarket, OEM, it doesn't matter to me. Links would be great!

If you get a white brz maybe @OmarGC will be willing to trade with you. Other wise just find a deal on an frs bumper and get it painted. There are a few people who would rather the brz bumper

I see you drive a 2013. What are you basing this statement on? How are the BRZ HID headlights far superior to those on a Monogram? I own a Monogram with HID headlights and have found no problems with them.

I can say that I am extremely satisfied with my car and have no regrets on buying one rather than a BRZ.

How much did you pay for your monogram? Thanks

He was referring to people who have the base model frs without hid's and then put a cheap kit on them which produces a lot of glare. Kind of like high beams

Dang. I wish I could afford it. Plus, I am 16 (about to be 17), so I am really lucky to afford even the base model. How do you like the Monogram version? Worth the extra 3k?

I would say it is with all the extras it comes with. Buying the headlights alone is over a grand

Agreed, I'm looking at the Winjet and it looks pretty decent. On a scale to 1-10, how difficult would it be in replacing it?

If you know how to take a few screws and clips out I would say about a 3

Also taking the front bumper off in order to remove the headlights and installing the new ones.
