Looks like the same spoiler from the spy shots that were seen when the car was spotted on the road if you want better images of it. The bumper on it also looks like the same bumper from the new 86 they are showing at NY Auto Show.

Don't think anyone has brought these photos up for comparison yet.

Since I was curious I found a similar angle shot so you can compare details with the pre-refresh:

Lot of subtle yet appreciable changes. The crease that flows from the leading edge of the headlight is sharper and sportier, and the panel surrounding the rest of the light doesn't seem to have that indentation on the lower half, as with the regular BRZ and the STI Concept:

Also, the grill "moustache" doesn't protrude like the STI Sport Concept, and it draws less attention than the regular BRZ. I'm really liking what I see of the refresh up front.

Rear bumper has the crease right below the trunk line for the entire rear, so it's different than the new Toyota 86. Oh btw there's no BRZ on hand at the Subaru booth in NYAS so doubtful it's getting unveiled here.

Would totally pay to rock those new headlights.

Still wish Subaru would produce that STI concept full-monty. Would sell all my toys to get it. *pantsgettingtight*

I do think the BRZ facelift is an improvement over the first model, while the 86 is a step back from the FR-S. Good job to Subaru for that!

That satin blue on the STI version looks amazing. Wish they'd offer that color from the dealership.

I believe that black BRZ in the leaked photo has the pre-facelift bumper on it. Most likely it would carry the same rear bumper as the Toyota 86, as the pre-facelift models do. If the BRZ isn't unveiled I would be surprised but then again I also wouldn't as it does make sense to me. I thought the time the leaked photos came out was awfully close to NYIAS and they probably wouldn't unveil it at NYIAS if they are "just now" prepping the cars.

Think they both look good but the new bumper looks too aftermarket to me. I'll have to see what the bumper looks like with STI aero parts to see if it looks as good as the original. Headlights look cool, don't like DRL's being in there though with the fish hooks.

The DRLs imo fill out the housing better than the pre-facelift, which almost looks like it has an eye booger. I agree that the bumper looks aftermarkety, especially the faux-splitters on the bottom... they're too busy don't flow as well as the original BRZ --a good OE/aftermarket lip kit can address that.

Quick rough chop with kouki bumper on zenki.

One question - where fog lights (or brake ducts) will come in new bumper?

raven1231 · 03-24-2016, 06:33 AM

Can't wait for different angles lol

I'm sure the same spot they are on the current model- the black bezel area.

I wonder with the 5 big LEDs to work as turn signals, that they might do the Mustang animated turn signal pattern?

At least the BRZ won't be getting the catfish front bumper like the 86.

Man they really need to bring Dezi back from Yamaha.

Ugh, hopefully not. Sequential turns are awful.
