hmmm... seems like the edge isn't aligned well and quite a few silver bolts were nailed in. It looks ok to me, will think about it.

This is just a prototype fellas The final fitment will be later this week and have all black screws and more work to get it to sit perfectly....patience!


aznpapaya: We would be happy to do a free fitment on an ISx50 with the GRX rear since I'd like to know how it fits too.


thanks for the comments and critics!

a diffuser is supposed to be a performance aid so i have a question: wind tunnel tested? any type of testing?

Looks better on the IS-F. This is because we all know that a diffuser is a performance item, and an IS 250 isn't that performance like.

I like! I think this will look sweet on a light colored IS since the black plastic of the diffuser will flow with the black plastic at the bottom of a stock '09+ bumper.

They look like those roof spikes you see on STI's, but on the ***. I think it's too much for a classy car.

i think i saw this car just now on bayshore/101 sb. was the diffuser on? if so, for whatever it's worth, the piece is very subtle in real life. car looks good.
