Brz debadge???? To make it a GT-86
I was wondering if anyone had purchased a limited Brz which is closest to Gt86 as far as options and then de badged it to make it a Toyota gt-86?
I'm actually contemplating in doing that and possibly later on a front bumper swap. I wonder if I will have registration issues because paperwork says one thing and car says something else? Could it be illegal?

You thinking about changing the front bumper too? Otherwise I think it would be pointless.

A little baffling. I'm all for making the car the way you want but why not be proud of what you bought/will buy?
I get it if you want to change it from Scion to Toyota but Subaru to Toyota is something else. Ohh well to each their own

 I think it will be cheaper to buy a brz and convert it than to get a frs and upgrade it.

I think it would be easier to convert to 86 (or GT86) if you get the BRZ. Cheaper...? Maybe.

Cheaper if I leave brz headlights on frs bumper.
But then it wouldn't be a complete swap |
