Default MyRide Rear Diffuser

Im wondering where I would be able to purchase one that has the BEST FIT.

I know Ebay is Littered with these things and Im not trying to spend money on a hit or miss.

Back in 2012, a member with a USB 2is purchased an authentic one from japan. His SN was something along the lines of "Itchizhu" His USB is is featured everywhere on Ebay that's selling the My ride rear diffuser.

He is no longer in contact or I have not been able to get in contact with him. When I initially asked him 3 years ago where he got it, he wouldn't disclose specifically, but he said he imported from japan for about $300~400 shipped.

That being said, Anyone know a RELIABLE source where fitment would be 9/10 ( Tiny gaps I can use weather strip) where I would be able to purchase one.

I have purchased 2 in the past and fitment was complete garbage.

No I do not want to pay a shop to heat the part in order to fit. If anything goes wrong that will be a bit hit to my wallet. Less work to do, less potential headaches.

Please only comment if you have a proven source (you've bought from them before)

Thank you!

Honestly they are all about a 6/10...its on you to work with it a bit to form and shape just a bit. plus thats half the fun knowing u made it the way you wanted it. That being said..get a heat gun, some 3M tape, epoxy, and some blue painters tape..screws on the bottom for good measure.

If that's the case, then I will just end up going with a toms rear lip. Im not a fan of headaches.

minor fitment issue





small gap





gap but when i push on it, it fits better. maybe just needs more tape to stay on the car

this was the ebay one for $72.99. It is on my car with just tape and screws right now. As of now, fitment is 7.5 or 8/10, there are some gaps you can easily see if you're close too the car as you can see from the pics but if youre 5 feet away you can't tell at all. I've read on other threads you just need some silicon strips to cover the gaps and I will look into that more. Regardless, i think it looks mean as **** and I am very happy with it. It really gives the rear a more aggressive look as opposed to stock or toms rear lip too. I got it painted and installed for free so my opinions may be a little biased but even if i paid 250 or whatever it would be for paint and install I think I would still be really happy �������� definitely recommend it

Heat gun to fit 3m tape, and black epoxy for best fit. I'm not a fan of molded lips and such but you could do that too

Fitment on these things are garbage. Best way to make it clean is to mold it. Top pic I had just fuzed it to the bumper with lord fuzor. No way was double sided tape gonna keep it together. Bottom pic I molded it to make it seamless
