FRS Bumper on BRZ

I searched lightly and found nothing. I am late to join this forum so I am sorry if it is a repeat topic. I love everything about both, but I like more about the BRZ.

The only thing holding me back from the BRZ is the DAMN FRONT BAR THING IN THE GRILL.

I wonder if anyone else has though this or if any other after market bumpers have been developed / being developed. I honestly would just get an FRS front bumper and call it a day.

I think you can get the bumper either with the fr-s headlights, but i read somewhere the brz has this plastic piece on the headlight holder that the bumper goes over. If that makes any sense. haha.

Have you seen the BRZ in person? I wasn't so sure how I'd feel bout the 'stache but I really liked it when I saw the car in person! Everyone has their own opinions though!

Truth. I might change my mind.

Another plus of the 'stache is that plastic is pretty darn easy to keep clean. Also I've had a few small rocks apparently thrown at the front and it is hard to notice the nicks unless you're down there detailing the car... Have you got a BRZ ordered? Or hoping to find one?

^ This. It looks very nice, subtle even, in person.

They're are pics on here on the forum if you really wanna see them. If I ever get a BRZ I will get a FRS bumper and keep both.

I wouldn't worry about the plastic bar on the front bumper of the BRZ. It does look very intrusive in the catalog and other photos but when I picked my car up in person it wasn't bad at all. I actually like it better than the FR-S bumper now. Looks more refined IMO
