This guy redesigned the front bumper. I mean its SO MUCH BETTER like he has it.

Ignore the other tweaks he has done, but the front bumper looks real good.

So he just changed the shape of the grille ever so slightly (added some pretty shallow angles to the top edges) and added that black chin section from the BRZ?

I dont think its SO MUCH BETTER......its barely changed at all.

IMO i think the actual rectangle grille shape looks better than this tweaked polygon shape.

edit: oh and that fin where the vents are...i didnt notice he removed them....

I'm not 100% behind how he reshaped the upper corners of the grill, but I do like most everything else.

The best change imo is adjusting the fender line and how it continues through the door. I do also like his changes to the rear end. All in all, subtle but good.

Yeah fair enough. I love it, the existing one looks like fish lips to me, too rounded on the edges.

It could have been so much worse... IMHO
Look at this giant carp mouth!!!

^Just wait for the GRMN version

Ha, even though the shape isn't quite the same, it makes me think of the Rage Meme face!

I really can't either. I keep going back and forth between the 2.

Easily interchangeable, like the trunk swap threads that pop up...

or buy a spare of the other and change it up once in a while.

Plus the aftermarket will have a few designs

If one of the aftermarket companies makes that, I am on it. That looks better than both of them.

That said, the aftermarket for the first Gen produced very little front bumpers. 99.9% of people who even touch the front end just went with a lip or splitter.

Funny, I loved the FR-S's front bumper over the BRZ and 86 refresh. Now, I like the BRZ's SLIGHTLY better. Question, if foglights are offered, where would they fit?

I might actually be leaning towards the BRZ smiley face this go around...
But it has to be in WRB, I will accept no other colour for the Subaru
