Hey all,

Is there already a thread on this? I think this front is really nice looking and would like to know more info on it. Where can I get just the front bumper? I got a quote for $1600 shipped for just the front bumper.. what material is it made of, fiberglass? $1k+ for something that will shatter... is the scion emblem replaceable? Can I badge it to have a Toyota emblem? I put this in the BRZ thread because most of all, I want to know if it will fit the BRZ too. Does anyone have this kit, if so what do you think?



Thanks!

Ask the vendor?
Calling him a troll for stating truth is rather wrong.

It'll fit a BRZ, all body panels are swappable. It's expensive probably because it's not cheap, shit fiberglass and should take a pretty good beating. It also probably comes with those fog lights which look fairly custom.

It's one of the few kits I actually like on the twins, but it'd feel weird having the obviously Lexus inspired kit on the Subaru, but that's just me.

I personally think it looks nice. Bumpers are swapable between the platforms so should not have any fitment issues. Question is, did they keep the stock fenders? If not then you will have to get those too.

Yeah I think it looks good too, pity Lexus uses the grill design otherwise people will accept it more.
The fender is stock, they have a wide design as well but it isn't on the car in this pic.

Thank you for the helpful responses. I was about ready to give up on this "community". The reason I am asking a forum rather than bombarding the seller with even more questions is because I was actually interested in your opinions on input on the subject of this after market bumper. I am fine with the lexus inspired grill because I personally like the new lexus fronts. I also wish you could negatively rep me. Because if this community is the type that would negatively rep a member who is seeking knowledge or a discussion among fellow enthusiasts, I have little care where my reputation stands. Otherwise, I appreciate the helpful responses. Thank you.

Relax, holmes. Most of the questions you're asking can only be answered by the manufacturer. Just because someone "trolled" you doesn't mean you're actually getting trolled. If you said you know absolutely nothing about modding, aftermarket kits, and wanted to clarify the stuff you don't understand in regards to what the manufacturer told you, you probably would've gotten a better response.

Personally, I think the kit looks like ass, but that's what people say about the LFA kit and I think the LFA kit is hot shit.

Having a different opinion is not trolling. OP does not know what trolling is.

Despite what looks to be decent build quality, that kit looks like shit. I really don't understand why anybody would want to take an attractive car like an FR-S or BRZ and beat it with the ugly stick until it looks like a Lexus. This is my honest opinion. That's not trolling.

Turning this car into a fake Lexus is every bit as stupid as putting a Ferrari body kit on a Fiero. The poor thing will ultimately end up at the Pull-a-Part because nobody will want to buy it when the OP gets tired of it.

Is the only fitment picture they have a render? I'd look for actual installed pics for ANY kit before I bought it. There are too many horror stories.
