Updated "JDM" underbody panels?
Sup everyone,
I see that the GR86/gen 2 BRZ come with slightly different side underbody panels in which the puck is mounted via plastic clips instead of rivets. Searching for the part # it appears these new underbody panels came on 1st gen facelift vehicles of certain years. Can someone with a 17-20 car please take a look and see if the puck of their underbody panel looks like option #1, or option #2? Option #1: Option #2: TIA, Steve |

From what I could tell, the transition between the two styles of cover was in 2020. The Subaru parts catalog has a section for UNDER COVER CENTER '15MY-'20MY, and one for UNDER COVER CENTER '20MY-. Both pages ultimately give the 2nd gen part numbers, with the original 1st gen part numbers having been superceded and no longer in the list. Viewing and ordering the old part numbers, the new panel is automatically substituted, without the puck. Strangely, while the fuel tank covers have new part numbers superceding the old, the old part numbers remain available to order. Both part numbers are listed for the same 2017-2020 variants (with puzzling gaps in coverage), but 2022 lists the old part numbers (ca20,ca30) while 2023+ (also with odd gaps) give the new (ca21,ca31) part numbers. |

They're updated, but cross compatible (original style is 1-piece riveted, new style is 2-piece and you clip them together). I imagine they had issues with people breaking the little front plastic guard and having to order a whole undercover, rather than just replacing the guard.
Just ordered a set of revised undercovers a few months ago. Fit fine on FR-S Last edited by EndlessAzure; 11-08-2024 at 01:23 PM. |
