Question about BRZ front bumper

[Futaba]

Hi folks,
Not a GT86 owner just yet, but will be taking delivery of a white GT86 (GT version) in March next year here in Japan, so I can avoid the poor winter weather.

What I'd like to know is, how feasible is it to install the BRZ's bumper on the GT86, is it simply a bolt on swap or would it need additional supporting components / fixings, and has anyone done it before?, I quite like the stock BRZ front bumper, more so than the stock Toyota one.

Thanks!

I think someone has made the swap.

Here's one relevant thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43407

Here's one specualting as to the actual cost and items you'd need: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16563

Why not just buy the BRZ in the first place, though?

And finally, for future reference, LMGTFY

Thanks JohnJuan,
As for why I am picking up the GT86 over a BRZ, it's simply the pricing difference, just on floor prices alone the BRZ of the same specification is $2000 more, the GT86 version also allows various optional extras to be included from factory.

But the biggest deciding factor is that when I was buying the car they had a special incentive program running at my local Netz store where the price was significantly reduced depending on how you paid, I ended up picking up the GT version with some optional extras for $20,400, barely higher than the RC versions normal price here.

That's pretty good to know. Thanks!
