Headlight cut is slightly different, you'd have to change the headlights as well.

Are you sure part of the headlight would not just be covered by the bumper? I thought the headlights were interchangeable.

Nope, headlights are exactly the same shape; the BRZ bumper just has a rubber trim piece that covers the inner corners.

They are interchangeable; fitment-wise.

Swaps right over. You just have to figure out what to do with the LEDs or the turn signals, depending on which you're doing.

Which actually surprises me a bit. When will the aftermarket offer a solution for this?

So body kits should work on both.

^Can't see your images, they're all broken.

Also, headlights are exactly the same shape... I met up with someone with intentions of trading my fr-s bumper for his brz bumper. But in the end I didn't want to deal with wiring the turn signals/using the led's place...
