Question Prefacelift and facelift rear bumper differences

Hello guys, greetings from Poland. I'm new here and have a question about the rear bumpers in our 3IS.

I am searching for a rear diffuser compatible with my Lexus F-Sport 3IS 2018. I have already found some models that fit the 2013-2016 F-Sport models, but I cannot find one suitable for my 2018 F-Sport.

Please let me know if there is any difference between bumpers before the pre-facelift and facelift models, apart from the exhaust tips? Do you know if this diffuser would fit my car?

Thanks

The face-lift has larger exhaust opening but you can use any of them since they all fit and main difference is the exhaust opening

The rear valence can be swapped from 2014-2020 without any issues, therefore the rear bumper is the same.

Does it mean rear bumper COVER (upper part) is same between 2013-2020? I have found lower part from F sport version for 2018 but i am not sure about upper rear bumper shell. Is hard to find the exact P/N i need.
