search function is your friend, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...r-replica.html

this diffuser has been quite popular here on the forums in that thread you will find that members have had issues with fitment whether its the rep or authentic. Nothing major just small gaps here and there but with a good bodyshop they should be able to take care of it. I'm avoiding the issue all together by molding it to my rear bumper

let me rephrase that, I'm actually using a automotive plastic fusor called Lord Fusor 142, so in a sense I am molding but not, hope that clears things up. Its kinda hard to tell from the pic bc everything is underneath the diffuser but I also made a few screws here and there to hold it in place which I will remove and plastic wield once the fusor sets.

Are you painting the whole thing or just the edges?

Most likely you'll have to remove the GFX rear lip your car came with in order for the diffuser to go on properly.
