Leave the Subaru one! I did something similar for my rear. Toyota badge but Subaru license plate frame.

MIND GAMES.

@Clipdat I almost did something like that, but I found someone who's doing the classic "T3Q" emblem in the subaru sizing for the front. almost properly badged, lol

What you did makes sense though, the engine IS a Subaru boxer, but the rest of the car is a Toyota, and especially since his car is properly a Toyota 86, it makes sense to have Toyota badging front and rear, the BRZ bumper is a lot more generic, what I mean by that is it appeals to more types of people, where as the Toyota bumper is loved by certain types, like me, but despised by others, so I can understand the bumper swap, although for me personally I love the 2017 Toyota's look. It looks amazing and even supercar-ish from certain angles, almost LFA-esque.

C-West front lip and side skirts went on this week, along with a much needed wash and wax. Better pics hopefully coming soon.

Wow, talk about bringing it to another level. Nice looking body kit.

still waiting on mine to arrive...

the zenki brz front looks cool with the 2nd gen lights. Its suprising how different 2017 rear bumpers (shorter) are from the first gen. what are you going to do for that?

I was heavily considering the TRD front before I swapped over, but it's too Batmobile for me. I was looking for something that would clean up the 86 bumper lines a bit but I'm still not crazy about anything that's come out.

Thanks!
Not too sure what to do about the rear yet. I'm not the biggest fan of the C-West rear and all the 2017 rear lips I've seen so far are.. eh. I think the 2017 bumper actually hangs a bit lower thank the zenki rears, but not too sure.

RB V1 rear diffuser would really set it off, imo.

Or something like this if they make ones for the 2017: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/apr-...user-1646.html

what parts of it didn't line up? or are the side dimensions completely different? I was thinking of trying to retrofit a diffuser from the zenki bumper on it, but i don't want to be stuck with a cut up bumper and a useless diffuser.

The overall shape is different. The 2017 back bumper pulls in more where the body line (At the corner) where the old bumper the pull in at the body line is less. So in my case the kit did not wrap around and sit flush. I wish i took pics but I sold the kit.
