Hmm, so for the price point the Arkym and Tom's are about the same... I might just down to those two choices!

^Without a doubt, It certainly isn't subtle like Toms, but that just makes it even sexier IMO. But it will depend primarily on which you can obtain at the moment. There are some classified postings for rear diffusers every now and again, but getting one straight from Japan will take a good amount of time, if they're even in production anymore.

I'm partial to the Arkym but I'm obviously biased. It may be minor but, I like the distance it has from the rear tow hook caps. I think when it is to close to these it looks more like an add-on. Also, it can depend on what you spend on the install or how proficient you are if you do it yourself. I had my body shop go crazy. Had it molded then had the top side painted body color with an edge along the corner that is perfect (in my opinion).

U cant go wrong with whichever rear u r going to choose , ultimately u will need the rest of the accessories to compliment the rear , sides, front , roof and exhaust tips . Just to mention a few

wow weswork, this looks amazing. nice job. i usually don't like any diffuser for just that reason, but this looks so stock.

in fact, after i went back and looked back at your pics, you have a ****ing sick looking F, ha. did a bit of a double take i must say! if i'd have to guess, i'd bet you are one particular mother effer, lol.

I've been told that... Take a look at the whole gallery in the Flickr acct and then wander over to the Supra pics.

A lot of beautiful IS-F's here, I think each diffuser serves a different look for different cars.

Here in SF or any big city such as NY I would be very scared to park on the street with such an expensive piece that could get damaged by someone hitting you. Also I think you really need a fully modded F to pull off some diffusers (rims, drop, sideskirts, front lip, etc)

Of course I'm partial to mine since that has been on my IS-F and worked well since day one. Price point can't be beaten either Tons more pics here:
