FRS bumper on BRZ, possible? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm still looking to trade my frs bumper for a brz nose

Gt- It may be cheaper now but in the future it won't be. Not to mention you either have to take it to a good place, lots of money, for the install or get the gap that everyone who does it on their own gets. Not to mention the paint for this also. As of now I can get everything I could want from the brz for under 1500 including HID. My thing is I don't want to do maybe body work. Nothing ever comes out the same way once you start doing this. As of now, I've only done mods that I would need to do in the brz anyways. I figure in 12 months I can get everything one could want for under a thousand. You prefer the frs style go with an frs since there are more differences I prefer in the frs to BRZ.

you should have asked em if scion was aware of their prices (the pure price policy) and that you felt cheated and were not happy.

QUOTE=tacoss23;1117682]Thanks for the replies, turns out after some more research, it's actually possible and some guys have done it.

Reason I don't get the 10 series is because what a poster above mentioned PLUS (and this is the main reason) Dealerships are CRAZY with the markups they are placing on 10 series.

I actually went in this past week to the biggest Scion dealer in Houston and made him an offer as I was going to buy the car right away (I would've) and he refused, he wouldn't come down one cent of his "reduced price" of $30950, he was actually asking $31850. The MSRP of that car is $28150, and I would pay a little more, but definitely not more than the BRZ Limited.

Here in Austin is even more ridiculous, their asking price for a 10 series FRS is over $32000. And that is a 2013 model, so I rather just wait and get me a BRZ from Clint and change the bumper, it would cost me less and still have Navigation, the spoiler and the more respected Subaru badge.[/QUOTE]

Can I just change the black smiley looking bumper piece of the BRZ to the FRS piece? Not the whole bumper just the black mesh?
