Default 17+ rear oem diffuser on 14-16 is

Has anyone converted a oem 17+ rear diffuser onto a 14-16 is? If so is it just bolt on or what?

I remember seeing another thread on this. I would try searching. I specifically remember someone with a 17 wanting the older style diffuser.

I highly doubt that. A part from Japan shipped to the U.S. is expensive.

Not necessarily. I just bought the two LCA bushings and shipping was $18, and there are plenty of spoilers and other similar parts coming from China that have minimal or no shipping charges. I went a bit further with this one without completing checkout, and it says they will provide a shipping quote. It's only 6kg but is oversized.

From Megazip.net:

From Japan = +$16, and shipping costs are the same to both US and Canada. Awaiting my LCA bushings from them, but $ hasn't been charged yet and they should be shipped soon.

What had you ordered? Did you end up canceling? For the other place above they came back with $500 shipping, lol. Megazip is showing $23 for my LCA bushings.

Yep I canceled and they refunded. This was a couple months back.

Doesn't it require removing the rear bumper?
