If your going to get the front lip may as well keep the rear lip. Plus the MYride rear lip looks pretty sick

I agree, it does look good, but it might be a little too aggressive for me. I was planning on going with either the GFX rear or the INGS rear with an s4play diffuser. I did get this diffuser for a steal though, only $100 shipped :P

Definitely a steal of a price hahaha, the s4play diffuser is pretty aggressive too IMO, I'd still say stick with the MYride, especially for that price !

That's the s4play diffuser. Fits the IS250/350/F.

I may end up keeping the diffuser I received, then have it fitted and installed by a shop later on. The diffuser I got for $100 because I bought the front lip in an eBay auction, had it shipped to LA, then trucked into Canada to save the $90 shipping charge. They put the wrong part in the box. Rather than sending it back, I'm just going to buy the front lip again from the same seller and hope that they send the right part this time.

Emailed the eBay seller so I can buy the front lip and make sure that they actually send the right thing to me. Doesn't make sense to ship it back into the US since I'm in Canada and I would have to pay the return shipping even when they messed up.

I don't know if I should keep it or sell it.. Hmm..
Is this the replica they sell on ebay?

@juvi Yeah its a replica, there's a sticker on the back that says something like AB Motorsports or something. Fitment out of the box is really bad as expected, but it just needs a heat gun taken to it to get the outer edges by the exhaust cutouts curved inward more to fit the bumper. I think the same needs to be done when using the original MYride diffuser.

I gotcha i'm trying to find the original but no luck, i bought it a couple months ago from www.yesautopartsupply.com and sold it back before even installing it but now their website is closed !

First let me start by saying that I get really excited when I do get new parts as I am now but I am the worst photographer ever. I could care less about me taking pictures. But as many have said including myself, "this post is useless without pics" so I did take these. This is the start to my yearly mods. These will be going on at the end of March when the car goes in for paint and body work.
