Default Help idendifying side-skirt addon and introduction

Hey everyone. Happy to be here and even happier to have gotten my (within reason) dream car : )

Here she is. Just got her used (20k miles) as certified used. 2011 IS250 smokey granite mica: https://i.imgur.com/IuLl4bs.jpg

I just tinted my windows (not shown), plan to get the F-Sport springs, spoiler, roof spoiler, JDM window visors, and maybe smoke the tail-lights, and eventually get new wheels (though not sure what yet).

To be honest, I'm pretty closely emulating this car, though this is really close to how I envisioned her before I ever saw this pic: https://i.imgur.com/U3wAxuU.jpg

So this brings me to my question: Can you help me identify the side-skirt addons that are right in front of the rear tires? I've done my homework, but I can't find anything on these. I'm not even sure what really to google for. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I've actually never seen that rear before.. so it's most likely an authentic kit. No reps.. Be sick if you got it. Definitely different!

Thanks for the assist.

Yeah...everything about the way they did their build is mean and clean. Definitely how I like my cars.

Found out from my friend that the side piece is called a "diffuser". I haven't found it yet, but at least now my google searches are putting me in the right neighborhood.

This is a diffuser for the is250: http://www.ebay.com/itm/IS250-IS350-WD-W-Style-Poly-Urethane-Rear-Bumper-Diffuser-Chin-Lip-Add-On-Kit-/221464185329?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AIS250&hash=item33904b49f1&vxp=mtr

I've seen that piece before. It's a kit from a German company. They only sell it in Germany so I don't know how that guy got it in the US.

@is250916

Thanks. My friend corrected himself and told me that that *wasn't* a diffuser. Not sure why my google results were helping me find similar parts. Maybe those with diffusers also have side addons or maybe I was just noticing them more. Thanks for the correction.

@istarzan

I see. I'll try to focus (if possible) my searches to German aftermarket IS parts. Thanks for the pointer.

If anyone else sees anything, that would be appreciated.
