What is a front diffuser? I thought the front has splitters?

I like the front extension of the splitter but not so much the side girth they added to the upper portion. M3 GTS style I like, but only at the base.

Looks good, just has some odd design features.

Looking good!

Super aggressive though imo. I would do more aggressive add on pieces to compliment that front diffuser though, but then it would get costly for sure.

Gotta agree with this I prefer the more subtle look also.

Toms is still the look I'd prefer for a street IS-F.

The entire ride come together nicely. The owner has compiled a great list of mods, all of which are entirely reputable for the Lexus F. I personally like this diffuser, but knowing me and roads in my environment, CF would get nicked, scraped, and potentially destroyed. I love the parts Novel Japan puts out for the IS F (HATE that there are the replicas out there, but it is what it is).

Kudos to a fine build, Frank!

That looks great, I like that a lot but I'm afraid to see the pricetag.

I'm with lobux. If this is really a diffuser show pictures of the actual diffuser part. If not, call it what it is... a splitter.

You're right typo on our part, from NOVEL they refer to it as a front lip spoiler.

As for photos here you go, it is fully functional and extends quite deep into the body of the car. If anyone wanted a fully function under body all they would need to do is make a complete under tray section and connect it with a rear diffuser.
