Fitment note: GReddy identifies this part specifically for the original Scion FR-S/ZN6 front bumper. Although some aftermarket catalogs cross-list the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86, those models have different bumper designs and should not be treated as guaranteed direct-fit applications.
The GReddy 17010098 is not intended for the facelifted 2017–2020 Toyota 86 bumper.
GReddy GRacer Styling vs. a Full Rocket Bunny Body Kit
One of the biggest decisions FR-S owners face is how far to take their exterior styling.
A full widebody conversion can dramatically transform the car, but it also introduces additional cost, bodywork, wheel fitment considerations, and installation complexity.
The GReddy GRacer front lip offers a more restrained alternative.
Rather than replacing the entire front bumper or modifying the fenders, it adds a subtle lower extension that works with the original Scion design.
GReddy has a long history of developing aggressive aero packages for this platform. Our coverage of GReddy’s FR-S Rocket Bunny Version 2 debut at SEMA shows how the company helped popularize the FR-S as a platform for Japanese aerodynamic styling.
While the Rocket Bunny package is designed for a dramatic transformation, the GRacer front lip is better suited to owners who want to retain their factory bodywork.
Does the GReddy 17010098 Improve Aerodynamics?
A front lip spoiler changes the shape of the lower front bumper, which can influence how air approaches the vehicle’s underside.
GReddy describes its GRacer front spoiler design as intended to reduce some of the airflow beneath the vehicle and help guide air toward critical cooling areas.
However, that does not mean this particular lip has a published, measurable downforce improvement.
GReddy does not provide a verified downforce figure, drag coefficient reduction, or lap-time improvement for the 17010098.
For most street-driven Scion FR-S builds, the primary benefit will be its appearance and factory-integrated styling.
Drivers developing a track-focused aerodynamic package should evaluate the front lip alongside ride height, underbody design, suspension setup, and rear aerodynamic components.
How a Front Lip Complements a Lowered Scion FR-S
One of the most popular ways to improve the appearance of the Scion FR-S is to reduce the factory wheel gap with lowering springs or adjustable coilovers.
Combining a modest suspension drop with the GReddy GRacer front lip can create a more cohesive stance without requiring a complete body kit.
However, adding a lip to an already lowered vehicle also reduces clearance at the front bumper.
If you’re planning suspension upgrades alongside this spoiler, our FR-S, BRZ, and Toyota 86 adjustable coilover guide explains how ride height adjustment affects stance, handling, and everyday usability.
For street-driven vehicles, maintaining sufficient clearance around steep driveways, parking stops, and uneven pavement is essential.
A visually aggressive setup should still be practical enough to drive.
Why GReddy Uses Hard Urethane
Front lip spoilers are among the most vulnerable exterior components on a lowered sports car.
They sit close to the road surface and may encounter parking blocks, steep ramps, road debris, and minor scraping.
Hard urethane offers a useful combination of structural rigidity and flexibility.
Compared with many rigid fiberglass spoilers, urethane can tolerate some deformation without immediately cracking.
However, the material is not indestructible. Severe impacts or improper installation can still damage the lip or the factory bumper.
The GReddy 17010098 is intended to provide a durable exterior upgrade while maintaining the shape and styling of the original front fascia.
Installation Considerations
The GReddy 17010098 is designed for installation on the original Scion FR-S front bumper.
Before installation, inspect the bumper for damage, previous repairs, or aftermarket modifications that could affect fitment.
Test-fit the lip before securing it permanently, making sure the center section and both corners align correctly.
Follow the supplied GReddy instructions and use the included mounting hardware as specified.
If painting the spoiler, use appropriate preparation materials and coatings designed for flexible urethane components.
After installation, inspect the clearance between the lip and the road, especially if the vehicle has aftermarket lowering springs or coilovers.
