The Toyota GR86, Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S are some of the most modified cars on the road, and aero is usually the first thing owners change. This guide covers which GR86 and BRZ body kit parts fit which generation, how lips, side skirts, diffusers, spoilers, hoods and wide body kits differ, and what to check before you order. You can browse every fitment in one place in our GR86, BRZ and FR-S body kits and aero collection.
Which GR86 / BRZ generation do you have?
Body panels are not shared between generations, so start here.
- First generation (ZN6 / ZC6): Scion FR-S, Toyota 86 / GT86 and Subaru BRZ, roughly 2012/2013 to 2020/2021 depending on market. The 2017 facelift changed the front bumper, so front lips are often split into pre-facelift and facelift versions.
- Second generation (ZN8 / ZD8): Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ from 2022 on. The GR86 and BRZ use different front bumpers, so check which car a front lip is made for.
Every product title on SLR lists the model years and chassis code. Match both before you buy.
GR86 body kit parts explained
Front lips and splitters
A front lip bolts to the lower edge of the factory bumper. It is the cheapest way to make the car look lower, and it is the part most likely to meet a driveway, so many owners choose ABS or plastic over carbon here. For first-gen BRZ owners, this 2013-2016 Subaru BRZ ZC6 front bumper lip spoiler fits the pre-facelift BRZ bumper.
Side skirts
Side skirts fill the gap under the doors between the front and rear wheels so the car looks lower and longer. For the second-gen car, these 2022-2024 GR86 / BRZ side skirts come in carbon fiber, dry carbon fiber or primer (for paint-matching).
Rear diffusers
A rear diffuser sits on the lower edge of the rear bumper. On a street car it is mostly a styling piece that finishes the back of the car to match the lip and skirts. This 2022-2023 GR86 / BRZ rear bumper lip diffuser is offered in carbon fiber or forged carbon.
Trunk spoilers and wings
A ducktail or duckbill spoiler is the subtle option: it sits on the trunk lid and keeps the factory look. A swan-neck wing is the track-style option. For a clean look on the 2022+ car, this high-kick duckbill trunk spoiler for the 2022-2024 BRZ and GR86 comes in unpainted black ABS so it can be painted to match.
Carbon fiber hoods
A carbon hood is a weight-saving and styling upgrade. It replaces the factory hood, so check fit, latch alignment and hood pins before you drive on it. See this GR86 / BRZ replacement engine hood in real carbon fiber.
Wide body kits
A wide body kit changes the front, sides and rear of the car to make room for wider wheels and more offset. It is a bigger job that usually means cutting or replacing the factory fenders, paint and an alignment. This FRP wide body kit for the 2012-2016 GT86 ZN6 and BRZ ZD6 includes front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a spoiler.
ABS vs FRP vs carbon fiber: which material?
- ABS plastic: flexible, cheap and forgiving on scrapes. Good for front lips and daily drivers.
- FRP (fiberglass): common for full bumpers and wide body kits. Easy to repair and paint, but it cracks rather than flexes on a hard hit.
- Carbon fiber and forged carbon: light and stiff, with the woven or marbled look left exposed. It costs the most to replace if you crack it.
How to choose a GR86 or BRZ body kit
- Confirm the generation and model. First-gen and second-gen parts do not interchange, and front parts can differ between GR86 and BRZ.
- Decide how low you run. A slammed car on coilovers will scrape a front lip far more than a car on stock springs.
- Plan the order. Most owners go lip, then side skirts, then a rear diffuser and spoiler, so the car looks balanced at each step.
- Budget for paint and fitting. Test fit every piece before paint, and use a body shop for wide body work.

GR86 / BRZ body kit FAQ
Do first-gen BRZ or FR-S body kits fit the 2022+ GR86?
No. The second-generation GR86 and BRZ (ZN8 / ZD8) have different bumpers and panels, so buy parts listed for 2022 and newer.
Will a GR86 front lip fit a BRZ?
Not always. On the second-gen cars the GR86 and BRZ front bumpers are different, so a front lip is usually made for one or the other. Side skirts and many rear parts are shared, and the product title will say so.
Is a carbon fiber body kit worth it?
Carbon saves some weight and looks great unpainted, but it costs more and is harder to repair. ABS or FRP is the better pick for parts that take hits, like front lips.
Do I need to paint a GR86 body kit?
Primer, FRP and unpainted ABS parts need paint to match the car. Carbon fiber and gloss black parts are usually installed as they come.
Can I install a body kit myself?
Lips, side skirts and trunk spoilers are common DIY bolt-on jobs. Hoods and wide body kits are best left to a body shop. Always test fit before painting.
