Has anyone purchased this?

If so, would love to see some pics!

I went back and forth with this diffuser, ended up buy a silkblaze replica in carbon fiber. Still waiting for it to ship. Main reason for not buying the one you linked was because of the center piece.

I think it looks good, although the center piece looks odd.

The RC already kinda has a rear diffuser on the underside of the oem bumper. I was just wondering if you could add some Diffuser Fins on the upper part of the rear bumper that is smooth. Could be cool looking for a low cost.
They sell these on eBay....

never seen that in person. I kinda like it but in terms of aftermarket exhaust, no one makes one for that bumper unless you get the OEM Lexus F sport exhaust.

personally I prefer the stock look of my rear exhaust tips. I went with the Invidia exhaust for the gains but I wish the tops were similar to stock.

baggedRC, I am guessing that if you do an exhaust like yours or others, you pretty much need to get the rear part of the bumper to match? correct?

I’m not sure what you mean? Like color match with the car?

I'm talking about the rear diffuser.... you need to get one that has the round cut outs for exhaust tips.

oh yes for the one I have you can only use round cuts. The other ones offer more exhaust solutions. I wanted to go OEM with the fsport exhaust because it’s not too loud.

I have a quad tip exhaust and was able to use the OEM diffuser just fine.
