For those of you that like this on the isx50's
What do you think of it being painted to match TP ?
I dont want to wrap it in fake CF wrap but am considering that still also.

WE have done a lot of polling and research on this - trust me when I say to NOT PAINT! Save your money, it's already painted matte black and this is the best color for this piece.
Wrap can be done but so far no one has wanted it so that tells you how well the matte black finish works.

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

. Granted, of course, I dont want people seeing thinking it's hideous but if you strongly suggest not painting then I'll hold off for now if not altogether.

CarLx: The white IS-F is mine - go look in the IS-F section under "s4play"
As for the diffuser, life is all about variety so try the paint, who knows, you might have the sickiest Lexus around! I was just saying that I have not personally seen one painted but like you said that doesn't mean it wouldn't look good.

Received the part in the mail.
I'm going to install it today or tomorrow but first impressions are that I cant believe that I paid so much for.....this. It's a flimsy, warped, cheap, piece of plastic with a bad paint job on it. Perhaps once its secured on you wont notice how flimsy it is but I'd say this is about $20 worth of plastic. Granted ya know..it's a toy and there's a markup but I was expecting something more sturdy or more highly crafted.

I like the look of it on the vehicles I've seen. And I wanted a product just like this so, that's good. I hate to put anyone off but I do also have to be honest in saying that compared to other mods of this nature and size (my old jun-tw rear roof spoiler for instance) it is of lesser quality and equal or greater price.

I've already taken the first step by having my bumper painted. But, sub par quality of this accessory at a premium price. I don't think so
Again I appreciate you candor

Installed.
I had to trim off so much that I lost 2 fins on each side. So It's a 5 fin diffuser I cant see how it could fit 7. The cover to which it is bolted on only covers enough space to allow for 5 fins (on the isx50). And the rest of the space between that cover and the muffler is not level with that cover. So. $349 retail. 7 fins. That's about 50 bucks per fin. I'll send you back the two I had to cut off and you can credit me $100. Sound fair?
I also dismissed all the hardware that came with it. Best to just tape it and use a rivet gun. Next I just have to put a little black paint on the silver rivets.
Again, I love the look. It just all depends on how much you wanna pay for a very small cosmetic mod. I happen to have some excess funds for toys at the moment so I went for it. Part of me says "man i could have gotten something a lot cooler for that much" but I like it so eventually the unjustified high price will wear off on me and hopefully leave me with only pleasant thoughts. Bottom line is that it needs to come down in price or come up in manufacturing quality to appeal to enough people to be bought in large numbers. I assume the maker would not dislike such potential sales volume. But they wont get it at this price. Even though all you see is the fins and cant tell much else...the peace of mind a buyer would have from a higher quality product would be more worth it IMO.
here's a few crappy cell pics. Better ones soon.
I will say , however, that i think they look like a perfect match for the F. That space just screams for this part.

You must of liked it a lot to installed it. I would of tried to resell it if I didn't like the way it was made and found out I can't fit all fins on there.
How did that heartmyis girl fit all of her fits with the aftermarket exhaust? Maybe you shouldn't be so rash to install it immediately.
