FYI: the IS-C comes with this stock I don't have a good pic of mine at the moment, but I'm sure rashoodz will come up with one shortly

I actually like it, but I think you need some rear spats or something as the rear end is kind of empty, no?

Hopefully Rick can answer this for you, as I am clueless about this mod. Since it's been on my car I don't think it looks bad, if seen in person it is actually really subtle.

I suspect it's just cosmetic, and thus technically "rice," but so are 90% of the mods people do to their cars.

The diffuser looks, at worst, just fine... and for those of us who dont really care about rear lips it's a nice subtle mod on the backside. The retail price, IMO, is a little steep considering that it's just a piece of plastic, but there's no competition so...alas. If it were $150. I'd have not one hesitation. For it's retail price...I had to think on it and if i currently didnt have a little extra to blow I probably would have passed due to it being such an expensive piece of plastic despite liking and wanting it. It's in the same mod league as a rear roof spoiler, I think. If only mine hadnt been ripped off...ugh
I agree with you 100%. Right now, I'm on the fence, not because of looks, but because of price. If it were a little less expensive, I would jump on it for my F.

Sure, I've attached a few more pics below


If anyone in norcal BAY AREA has a GFX lip and wants to help us to do test fitment, shoot me an email: s4playko@yahoo.com P.S. We do need a white ISx50 volunteer too! We can meet at EXACT MOTORSPORTS in Milpitas


llamaboiz: Sorry I missed your question, this is ONLY for COSMETIC! Another IS-F owner claims it held on just fine at 150mph but I can tell you this was never advertised as a functional piece
