FRS with Ferrai F-12 front bumper. Looking for opinions. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Jeremiahlee34 · 06-20-2016, 07:14 PM

Looking for some un-biased opinions about my new front end!

This is a one of a kind hand made front bumper in carbon fiber, made after the f12 Ferrai front bumper. Not an exact match but it's pretty dang close and I think looks good but I wanted to get some opinions of other frs/brz owners!

I can dig it. Looks like quality work.

way too much front overhang for me

shiumai · 06-20-2016, 07:52 PM

Interesting - more pics please. Reminds me of the G-nose Z - a bit too much overhang for me too, personally.

The waffle grill is a bit busy (i don't like it on the F12 either - looks like a toothy grin) so i'd have picked the F12 TDF version if i were going to pick one or the other:

Looks like quality custom work though - kudos for trying something different.

Not my cup of tea but if you're happy with it then that's all that matters.

NyC Zn6 · 06-20-2016, 08:01 PM

Not my cup of tea as well but i can respect the creativity and bringing something different to the 86 chassis.

ryoma · 06-20-2016, 08:34 PM

its looking like the front face is smiling while the eyes (headlights) is angry and don't match the face. however, if you like it then that's all that matters. screw the haters

I like it, reminds me of a kit i saw on the car when it first came out in 2013

^ I think that red car with the body kit looks better to be honest. The "F12" style bumper seems to have a sharp edge at the top of the grill that looks out of place on the car.

Yeah, the black one is nice but that sharp overhang throws things off, perhaps if it was rounded to be flush with the grill like the red it would be a much cleaner look. But kudos for the one off build!

Looks a bit creepy IMHO lol like it's staring into nothing but it's grinning as of its towards you 😅

Toyarzee · 06-20-2016, 09:54 PM

As others posted already... It doesn't seem to follow the lines of the car very well, and thus sticks out and seems sorta out of place; but overall the fitment and execution seems to be spot on from what you can tell by the one picture.

IMHO it looks great and it has canards built in and a nice splitter.

Why does everyone need to say IMO or IMHO? If you're saying it it's assumed it's your opinion, no?
