Just saw this thread and had to reply, wouldn't want you to go buying parts that dont fit.

The Seibon 2014-2016 hood will definitely NOT fit a 2017 IS. The rear diffuser I'm not sure will fit with the oem exhaust tips, but doesnt look like it will. The only replacement which may fit is the sideskirt, best thing to do is call Seibon.

Yea I was thinking the same thing. Didn't want to say anything until I was sure. Due to the slight headlight and tail light redesign I feel like the hood and trunk won't fit. I did contact Seibon a few days ago about this but haven't heard back yet. I'll let the OP know if I get an update.

this is a old aimgain diffuser design from '14-16 car on a '17 bumper, exhaust tip very minor detail. diffuser aligns to bumper just fine


Seibon hood on '17 headlight/fender car. looks like it fits perfectly fine to me.

Looks like there's a bit of gap between the inner part of the headlight and the hood. I wouldn't be surprised if the owner blacked out the headlight to reduce the appearance of the gap, definitely looks good though. The rear diffuser looks good, dunno about the exhaust tips sticking out that far though.

There's no gap, you are seeing a shadow in that photo angle.

The trunk is the same shape. no chnage there so carbon fiber trunk will bolt right on and taillights will work just fine.

Shape of taillights did not change, only design on it.
