Question BRZ w/ FR-S Front Bumper?

Can a BRZ's Front bumper be switched out that of the FR-S's. I have read some different articles on this being possible but I just want to ask if the swap could maybe run into some location or fitting problems or will this be an exact fit for the BRZ with no cutting, fitting, or any other type of modifications needed? Thanks

i believe it is a straight swap. the BeeR was a brz with a frs front bumper so they could use the Rocket bunny wide body, and i think there is alos a volk car that is either a brz with frs front or frs with brz headlights.

Do-able but you have to change out the signals, DRL, and etc (redo the wiring)... Remember BRZ turn signals are within the headlight assembly...

FR-S are right above the foglights... If you like I guess you could use 4 signals... XD

Bumper alone will physically fit on the BRZ and vice versa...

did the head lights have any issues? I know the BRZ head lights are shaped a little off compared to the FR-S/GT86.
