Default Rear Diffuser

Hey guys,

So im sure many of you know what the rear diffuser looks like on the IS and I personally love it. But, last week I let my brother take my car out, which I shouldnt have, because he backed into a snow bank, and chipped the paint on my rear bumper. The chip is very significant (2inches/ 1 inch) in size or so. Instead of getting it repainted, I wanted to know if there are any places that make custom rear diffusers? I only need it to go up higher on the bumper, so its level with the reflectors that way it will cover the chip.

I need something like this but have no idea where to get it! See how the diffuser climbs up almost to the top, that would be awesome!

That is an IS-F rear bumper conversion with tom's rear diffuser.
Look into Myride diffuser and see if it'll cover it

Yea, I know that it is the isf diffuser. I was hoping someone knew of a diffuser thats climbs higher on the 250. I dont think the my ride diffuser will cover it.

you can contact aprperformance.com and see if they can do it for our car.
The myride diffuser / Toms rear diffuser goes up pretty high. unless you want to get that and plasti-dip black the areas around that to make the diffuser look wider could work...

Otherwise APR is best, they are well known in making rear diffusers that work so look into that.

I would need something that is just a tad higher than my rear deflectors. The myride barely comes up to them. Thanks for the info guys will check out apr!

honestly making a "custom diffuser" will cost more than just repairing your rear bumper. Just my $0.02...

maybe look into a new rear bumper if you want the ISF rear diffuser look as others mentioned.
