It's not there. If it wasn't available from a US Lexus dealer, it won't be in TIS.

I be been surprised not a single vendor has made a true functional diffuser that uses the oem diffuser mounting bolt points that the trd one uses and instead rely on 3m tape and bumper drilling.

I'm surprised no one has tried to rep this as well. Maybe it's more intricate to copy unlike other parts? Wald, TOMS etc.? I'm not sure how I feel about replica parts anyway - I still buy all my music and movies! I was also going to say, literally minutes before I saw Meraki's post, why hasn't anyone picked up the NOVEL diffuser? It would have been my second choice.



Thanks! I'm surprised nobody scooped these parts up before me, I literally watched it for a year and a half on bidjdm before pulling the trigger. Originally, like everyone else, I just wanted the rear diffuser, but the seller wouldn't sell the parts separately, so after the year and a half, I just said F it! I should note, i didn't get the hood, it was listed separately and someone else picked it up. For anyone interested, they've still got the TRD CCS-P suspension components (coilovers, sway bars) available.

Yeah I guess they must be difficult to fabricate. Too bad though.. the ISF has mounting points for a diffuser.. and only the TRD one uses them. I have a feeling if a vendor does release a version of a TRD like diffuser, several people would switch out their TOMs, S4play etc for one. Forget the 3m tape and drilling into your bumper. Get a real diffuser. I would take a trd diffuser over the novel one any day.

haha too funny. I know people typically say the TRD diffuser was ~$5K, but NigelJDM was selling one a little iver a year ago for $3800. Speaking of NigelJDM, i should probably give him a shout out as he helped facilitate getting the parts from the auction for me and finding a great shipping rate from Japan. Im one step closer to getting the parts installed, spent about an hour last night getting the 3M tape residue off the diffuser - it wasnt easy. Took a few pics of the parts:
