Diffuser For IS 350

Will diffusers made for is 350 f sport models fit a non f sport? I know the front bumper is different but is the rear of the car that much different? Looking to get a diffuser like this one but it’s hard to find for non f sport models.

The lower bumper cover is different between the F Sport and regular IS. I guess it depends on how the diffuser is installed. If you replace the entire lower bumper cover, it should not matter whether the car is F Sport or not. However, if this "diffuser" is attached to the existing bumper cover, then you would only be able to install it on the F Sport, in theory.

Edit: I'm sorry, I just saw that this was for a 2014-2015. I don't know why it'd be different. From what I can tell, the lower bumper cover on the pre-refresh models is the same.

Supposed to fit, but if you go with a $100 eBay replica it probably won’t fit well

The diffuser fitment will be the same for F Sport and Non Sport for the purpose of the ad you posted.

Thats what I was thinking, they look the same to me.

Thanks I wasn’t sure if they would fit the same.
