Would you put a FR-S bumper on a BRZ?

Would you do it? Has anyone tried it? Please point towards a thread if it exists.

I don't understand why would you want to do that? Wouldn't it be easier to just get an FRS insead?

Anyway, it has been done to prove it could be done. If I find the thread or picture of it I'll pass it along here.

Not necessarily but I have always wondered what an FR-S with its more aggressive bumper would look like if it was painted in WRB. Not sure if the FR-S front end could pull it off.

Probably the closest thing we're gong to see until someone actually does it.

Yes, only because it has more front lip options.

Yeah for some reason, I don't like the colour on this bumper as much as I do on the BRZ bumper. If I had a WRB BRZ, I wouldn't switch bumpers.

I'd do it and then paint the car Hot Lava. Toyota badging and fender vents and I'd call it good. I contemplated a Hot Lava FR-S and even test drove one the day before I got my BRZ. I just didn't like the interior on the FR-S enough to buy the car. Maybe some day, but for now I love my Satin White Pearl BRZ...
