For those that bought the eBay lip, did you get them painted? How much did that cost? A CF one is about $450, so wondering how much you end up saving. $100-150?

I've been debating the eBay lip for a few weeks and glad to see the fitment is good. I have to get my lip spoiler painted gloss black so maybe best to get the lip done at the same time.

After seeing Boost786's photos, I bought one last night. I might get it painted to match the body. Either that or a gloss black color.

I have a 2014 IS250 NON F Sport but as far as I know, the diffuser is the same as the F-Sport Model. I just ordered the Diffuser and I'll post some pictures once I put it on. My car's a nebula grey so for anyone wondering how it'll look on grey, I am going to receive it on 06/22 so I'll post it then.

I didnt paint mine. I like the black abs/poly look.

Should have checked the sale thread, im selling the brand new diffuser at a reduced price. If anyone is interested in the diffuser , im selling mine, check the for sale section. 😀

Check out 3isvaders setup, looks nice! Debating if the front should painted as well. All white looks pretty nice but imagine the scrapes haha

Even unpainted it looks good! Does it require 3M tape and screws?

The material is nice and smooth. Doesnt come with any tape but does come with screws to mount. I did however use some 3m double sided tape to securely mount then screw a few screws from the bottom for extra support. Its very sturdy

This is an idea of how the sides look. I didnt like how they look so i trimmed off parts and made a splitter/lip.

I also found rep TRD front splitters and rear spoilers on ebay. It's not 100% identical but pretty close for a fraction of the cost.
