Rear diffuser on USDM bumper?

Are there any USDM style rear bumpers that have a diffuser or are there any that can be added?

I love the look of the rear diffuser but do not want to remove the crash beam for a JDM rear (it is my understanding you have to remove the beam). Anyone running a setup like this have pics?



Thanks

Okay, I appreciate that, thank you.

However, I am asking about a USDM style bumper that has one or can have one added.

I would like to not mess with the crash beam what so ever.

The JDM bumper does not have a diffuser- it is only for looks. For the USDM bumper APR makes a rear diffuser.

Rexspeed makes one as well. I will probably go that route at some point in time.

Has anyone managed to get the exhaust shield to work with the diffuser?

If your fine with the plastic diffuser definently go APR, if you want CF i'd go with rexpeed considering it's half the price. I can't wait to get my diffuser later this summer

Do you have a pic of that?

I had not idea there was any exhaust shield but the carbonfiber one


Then again I was a bit confsed on the rear diffuser/jdm bumper thing as well.

Not a huge CF fan, only like a little here and there (okay really just the wing is enough).

I will most likely go for the plastic one if I can find a exhaust shield that does not look out of place.


If not I might do the CF one and either modify the shield or diffuser.
