Default Lexus IS 250 Rear Diffuser HELP!!!



Hi guys, so I purchase a rear diffuser from eBay. As it's the only place I can think of to buy one. It arrived my house in Australia from USA! But made in Taiwan.

I had taken it fo the body shop tonne pained and fitted but it did not for onto the body the whole this is straight as a lemon and the body shop do not know how to make this thing bend into the shape of the bumper. They told me even the lines on it are u uneven. So I am super disappointed as front lips and spoilers I purchase on eBay fit perfectly.

I have written to the seller now telling them I wish to send it back and get a refund. They told me they can send out another one. But I am worried that won't fit also!

Guys can you please tell me where I can buy a rear diffuser for the Lexus IS 250. Please find attached photos !

Here you go mate. I contacted the seller and they want photos to prove it does not fit onto the body. I from what i have heard also online is that 98% of this type of diffuser will require custom fitment and using a heat gun to mould it back into shape. The bad thing is when they send it from U.S it didn't even come in a box they shipped it in a black plastic bin bag ..........
