2017 front bumper - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Jmk91 · 09-17-2016, 01:13 AM

Anyone else 100% hate that ugly front bumper on the toyota 86... like it's honestly a deal breaker if I had to purchase the 2016 vs the 2017 for same price I'd choose the 2016 any day of the week. Anyone else agree? I will admit the 2017 has better interior color tho. I wasn't a fan of red in the pervious years.

I agree it's hideous. I'm sure there will be many 2017 owners doing bumper swaps. I picked up a 2016 about 3 months go and I'm so glad I did.

Hideous is an understatement lol. The fang looking things are horrid. Looks like something you'd see on the orginal need for speed underground game lol.

Fixed that for you.

Its a personal preference when it comes to looks. I personally don't like it, but do like the removal of the red stitching in the interior. Allows you to have more choices of accents without clashing.

If I were in the market for a twin now, I would just go for the BRZ. The 86 just fell off the radar for me.

JDM4E · 09-17-2016, 01:24 PM

Yes its is fugly as hell. BRZ 2017 front bumper is ugly too, but not so much like 86. pre-facelift BRZ front for me.

Anderzz · 09-17-2016, 07:57 PM

+1 absolutely hate it, and makes the BRZ the clearly better twin moving forward imo

shodan · 09-18-2016, 08:05 PM

I'd still begrudgingly go with the 2017 86 just cause I dont like how the BRZ has the 'smile' style radiator grill and mouth guard

DGM-BRZ · 09-18-2016, 10:22 PM

BRZ with FRS front bumper swap ftw.

Has anyone put together a side by side comparing the new one to older ones? would be interesting to see all the details and changes that happened

mclovin85 · 09-20-2016, 01:55 PM

super ugly as shit lol... so glad i picked up my 2016 frs in january this year

Agreed. New FR-S bumper is not better than the older version.

But, I think the new BRZ bumper is better than the older BRZ bumper.

Series blue interior has my vote for best stock interior. I went full black leather. Hated the red stitch!

The 17 body style deserves my #totaled status, I hate it!
