Default Any difference between 06-08' and 09' rear bumpers?

Is there any difference between the 06-08" and 09" rear bumpers? I think the 09' has a little black diffuser on the bottom (similiar to the Tom's rear lip). Reason I ask is because I want the 09' GFX rear lip (when it comes out) on my 08'.

i know this has been discussed before because of the front lip but from what i cant seem to find it. I think the front is different but i think the rear and sides might fit not 100% sure of that but i will keep trying to find the link for ya

Yeah the 2009 rear bumper is slightly different, but it does look swapable. The line is slightly more defined where the rear gfx kit usually covers

The 09' rear bumper has a raiser thin line right above the reflectors across the entire back of the bumper. It fits the same though. Brociouz changed his to an 09' on his 06'. Here's what it'll look like photoshopped. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...n-an-08-a.html

Threads merged. Here are some side-by-side pics I took as well. In addition to that crease that connects the bottom of the two rear reflectors, there's a small black diffuser-like accent at the bottom.

The reflectors do a good job of making themselves ugly--i would love to get rid of them.
