Will GT86 Limited Parts come as FR-S Options?

Unlikely. Unless you have deep pockets and don't mind purchasing the goodies yourself, the closes the US will get to the "extras" from a GT86 is a release series FRS.

Thanks for the input. That makes sense given Scion's history with options.

They don't give you the option. but the fact that we've seen them in promo photos one can assume that they will be available soon.

as for now I would say ask your local dealer.

they may be inquiry only right now.



on the 5-axis promo FR-S



and the FR-S magazine ads

Well it kinda sucks they put them as an option to add on their website... Frustrating.

Then there's the fender 86 piston logos, the airbag, the floor mats (if the BRZ has a BRZ logo like the 86 has an 86 logo on them), the badges, the fog lights (different housing at the least on the Toyota), the headlights since they're different from BRZ to Toyota, the suspension since the BRZ is tuned to oversteer where the Toyota is tuned to neutral, then there's the kneepads on the interior, the undercar covers from 86 GT Limited, and if you wanted the red/black leather alcantara seats from the Toyota instead of the black and red stitching or the rest of the red colour keyed interior parts...... little more than just a bumper swap.

I have heard it has been done before already. I thought I even saw a post on here about it. I can't find it now though.

I found this pic of an FRS with a BRZ headlights. Either than or it is a BRZ who put the FR-S bumper and swapped the side "vents".

That's no FR-S, note the clear side marker lights. Unless they swapped those out too, that's either a BRZ or an 86.

No need, FR-S owners have been wrecking them at a amazing rate. Some of which leave the bumper in tact.

If you swapped out the whole front bumper along with the fog lights in it from the BRZ that would handle the front look.

The Front BRZ headlights are different but better than the FR-S ones. It would be pretty close.

With the BRZ you would get the dual climate and push button start. The push button could be swapped out to TRD for a small price.

The Side vents are an easy swap, you could even do the carbon fiber TRD ones.

You can easily swap the suspension out for an upgraded coils or the Koni and springs setup. It would be an improvement on the Toyota setup.

As far as the airbag you can buy the 86 one for 900.

It would not be exactly the same but it would be darn close.

Considering the GT86 limited has a higher MSRP it would not be that much more than the real deal either.

The fog lights, at least the housing, is different. So you'd have to get a new housing at the very least. The FR-S doesn't have the fog light housing at all.

As for the headlights, the Toyota and Subaru have a different design layout as seen in the images in the links below:

Toyota:

Subaru:


The suspension change you suggest is a modification and not a conversion.

As for everything else, you agreed with me that there's more than a bumper swap to get the BRZ converted to a Toyota 86.

Ok they're available in your zip code not mine, I still don't have the option on the configurator.



so there you go OP. you can cross the foglights off of the list since they're now available depending on your zip code.

Then I thought about it and was a little sad.
