TOM’S ( Tachi Oiwa Motor Sport ) rear diffuser. That model has been discontinued since TOM’S came out with a different design. There are however replicas being sold.

That would be a replica. The original comes in 1x1 weave only, IIRC. I also spot what may be silicone/gasket maker to fill the gap between the diffuser and bumper cover. May be very difficult to remove without damage.

Somebody installed mine (previous owner) with gasket maker. The damage is done regardless of removal. The gasket maker either ate or permanently stained the paint.

looks good, but most likely a replica with the carbon not being on point or straight in the upper left corner. probably better to leave it on vs. the cost of repainting the bumper tho

Repainting my bumper will be 550. Mine is authentic, so I can break even. If it were a rep, it would be a loss. I intend to repaint. It’s just a personal preference, but I think less is more in most areas of life.
