Till to this day....the pics taken of the APR diffuser on the stock bumper... is taken at tricky angles. I have yet to see pics that will show how it really fits and looks on the car

So until then ... none of the two

I want the JDM IX.. but the crash bar is an issue

my 2 cents

Right now I would go with the jdm ix bumper...

reason being is, I was one of the guys who was hyping up the release of the new APR difuser

but I feel this diffuser they made is not aggresive enough... it may work, but to soft looking

I was hoping it was going to look like the one on the APR widebody evo...

from what they are redoing the widebody diffuser... making it into a one piece

So until someone comes out with a diffuser thats agressive looking and functional,I'll go with the jdm ix rear

stock with diffusers that actually work. the IX is just for looks and a grip of people have them.

OEM with APR for sure, as the I always vote function before cosmetic. If the APR rear diffuser turns out to be counter-functional then go for the look aspect only...this is what I am going to do.

APR hasn't even released the evo8/9 rear diffusers yet. People have preordered since April and it still hasnt' shipped yet.

i spoke with evasive and they said that the diffusers are going to be out by the end of the month according to APR. they said the person they spoke with told them that APR is not going to wait any longer. hopefully this is true.

go with the jdm 9 rear, i have it i feel its bad *** looking. and as i've told several people before its possible of having the crash beam costum fitted. so you wouldnt have to take it off completely.
