Default Looking for a diffuser

Hello all,
I’m looking for a rear diffuser for a 2008 is250. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or recommendations? Trying to keep it under $100.
Thanks!

Im actually interested in getting one as well. My cars black so I'm wondering do I leave it just plasitc or get it color matched. I've seen some look good and I've seen some look cheap and I wonder if the cheap looking ones are just put on wrong. I see them all over ebay

Nice! I see them all over eBay and Amazon too, most of them are like $60-$80, not exactly sure if that’s good or “cheap” as far as price for the quality. This is my first time buying one, but I know you can paint them, I’d color match the black or maybe even color it white? Idk how that would look lol. My car is gray and I’ve plasti-dipped the emblems and darkened the back lights so I’m gonna get a black one

Uhhh no on the white. It'd look horrible I think LMAO. it's a molded peice of plastic. I got a $60 spoiler . Before painting I sanded any rough edges down. And I had to rethread it because the screws wouldnt hold. At the end of the day it's a mold and id rather do a little extra work then pay a few extra hundred. I see people putting on there spoilers and diffusers with only tape. And I think that's when it looks sketch. 3mm tape for vibrations and screwing it in is def the way to go. And you don't have to worry about it falling off and messing someone else's car up

I got mine off ebay then took the fins off, cut and shaped them, wrapped in 5D CF, then stuck them under the rear of the car with 3M permanent mounting tape.

Can you see them from far away. I was planning on getting the diffuser that goes to the bumper itself. And a good carbon fiber wrap would look good on it. I might just do that . But in sometime. I already spent to much money on my Is250 and I've only had it 2 weeks probably put over 3k in mods already on it.
