Default Special thanks to EXACT + s4play for my custom Sharkfin Diffuser

This weekend turns out to be a great weekend with sunny 70 degree temps so decided to give my "baby" a small mod. Decided my GS needed something a bit more aggressive in the rear to go with my custom exhaust.

I first saw the Sharkfin diffuser on Ebay but then realized our vendor EXACT sells this piece locally. It was designed originally for an IS-F but they helped me do a custom fitment for my GS350


Special thanks, great job guys!

If you guys have questions PM "s4play" since I am not the installer

I will take more pictures later but here's a sneak peek:

Well, I'm pretty happy about it so it's all good. I'll take some more pics and post it once the weather is nicer (by Cali standards). :-)

It looks ok I guess, maybe a different rear and less fins?

I apologize so much for what I'm about to say...

That looks ridiculously pathetic! You should rename your car "Lexus GS350 Scuderia"

Actually, I do live close to there at King and Spadina. I usually go up and down Bathurst quite a bit to get to and from Lakeshore Blvd.

Was it a black 3GS with black steel winter rims? If at night, also the 3000K fogs and bright LED parking lights are a giveaway. If you caught a glimse of the license plate, it's all 1s and 0s.

Wow looks pretty good - definitely need to take some better pictures one of these days

Blends in nicely withe oem matte plastic lower piece just like the 2010+ ISx50 cars so it's aggressive but flow nicely.

You guys who don't like it should see it in person before making judgement.
