Thank you guys so much, Really appreciate the kind words. I will snap more pictures as time goes on but I am struggling atm to get many photos out due to other commitments. I will make sure to measure the spoiler etc in case someone can make a replica??
That rear diffuser is great. The only real functional tested one too. I read that it uses real mounting points under the car too. I was looking for something like that for a while because I m not a big fan of how a lot of the offerings are just mostly on the back bumper and just for looks. I ended up just getting the s4play diffuser. But would love to find a trd isf one or similar.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but Ive spoken with a friend of mine that builds custom composite parts for everything from GP motorcycles to rally cars.
He's agreed to use my car to fabricate a functional chassis mount diffuser that would be very similar in function and appearance to the CCS-P version we all love.
Will let you know as this project progresses.

Haha, no need to if its like the TRD version. I was wondering why no other 3rd party offerings ever made a competing version and instead they stuck with the 'put it on the back bumper' (double sided tape and some screws into the bumper) for the looks' path vs using the under the car mounting points for the diffuser that TRD OEM one uses. The S4play is the closest but you still don't use the mounting points underneath the car and the fins aren't long enought to truly be functial at speed.

What are patent laws like surrounding automotive parts? I'm assuming not very strict because there seems to be a lot of replica products out there.It would be great to have a replica source for the IS-F TRD parts though, especially since Lexus has stopped producing them.

True! Its almost as if lexus built the bumber and underside thinking most people would option the trd diffuser. Then they went crazy in the pricing....
