Default Rear bumper lower cover oem valance

I'd like to upgrade my rear bumper valance. I've been pouring all over the internet looking at both model part numbers but am having a hard time finding the parts for the newer model so bare with me if I missed something!

I have a 2014 IS 250 (base) but I love what was done with the 2017 200t F rear bumper valance/diffuser. The tabs look the same and the shape of both parts are visually identical so I'm wondering if the 2017 valance will fit my 2014 model. See photos below.

Has anyone upgraded their older valance to the current model? I understand the new model has rectangular exhaust tips vs. my round ones so I dont mind swapping those out too.

There is not much love for non-f sport owners in the market and I don't like the scant A/M options out there but I'm open to recommendations. If you have part #'s for the 2017 IS 200t F exhaust tips that would be appreciated! I found the 2017 valance part no is 52108-53060.

I'd rather have the old one. Although the new one looks better. The car scrapes everywhere as it already is.

Just a heads up, the photo that you attached is a 2017 200T F Sport rear bumper....

This is the 2017 IS200T Base:

The old one is too plain, and doesn't compliment the aggressive front end. Seems as though no thought/design went into it, and Lexus engineers just slapped a flat piece of urethane on the rear bumper and called it a day. I would take the 2017 rear in a heartbeat.

If you were interested in upgrading your diffuser, we have various after market diffusers that would fit your car!
Shoot me an email at daniel@merakiautoworks.com if you want more info.
