Do what ever you want to do to your car. The bumper fits so its an option. I've thought about it and could care less what other people think about it. To me its the same car anyway.

I'm with you... I prefer the BRZ bumper... but the BRZ price tag vs the 10 Series with the discounts I got.... Significant amount LOL

I'd do it only to get the rest of the TRD aero kit.

I thought about it, but the BRZ bumper has grown on me. But if I could do it, and replace the scion/toyota badge with Subaru, I think that'd be cool and look pretty good.

I really like the BRZ front end. I think it looks more refined and exotic, especially in World Rally Blue Pearl!

I initially was leaning towards the FR-S in Whiteout until I saw a Camry with this bumper sitting next to one. See the similarities? Unfortunately for me, what had been seen could not be unseen...

but hey, to each their own! If you own an FR-S, GT86, or BRZ we all have essentially the same cool cars!

Let's not start a war over front bumpers and trim options!

Um other then the fact that they are both bumpers I do not see the similarities at all...

Whoa... They are incredibly similar!

Not a fan of the FRS's cowcatcher motif up front...

Grymm86 · 02-03-2014, 08:42 PM

I plan on making the switch. Lack of factory HID lamps, leather, heated seats and auto climate control forced me into getting the BRZ. The FRS bumper is Way more aggressive. fender accents will be getting switched too. looks like subaru pulled them off a ford or a kia...

dbrandt01 · 02-03-2014, 08:51 PM

I would do it instantly if someone lived in the same city and wanted to do it. Then in regards to that picture above, I'd say that camry bumper looks more like the BRZ one... That part under the logo looks like the mustache on the brz. I liked the interior more in the BRZ though so that's what I picked.

JS + BRZ · 02-03-2014, 09:04 PM

Nah, I like how refined look of BRZ a little more. Both looks very nice in different way.

guysmyley · 02-04-2014, 05:53 PM

never done anything customization stuff, so thx in advance for your advice

if i want to swap a FR-S nose onto my brz, should i go to the subaru dealership with a scion part, or should i just drive up into a scion dealership and ask them to work on my subaru?

tanks guyz!
