2016 Acura Ilx - Is this too "Ricey" for the car?
https://m.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Car-Kit-Rear-Bumper-Cover-Trim-Shark-Fin-Spoiler-Lip-Diffuser-US-Stock/112565603258
https://m.ebay.com/itm/MIXSUPER-Rubber-Bumper-Lip-Splitter-Chin-Spoiler-Trim-EZ-RED-for-Acura-2-x-100/112725248164
I want to make my Acura look more aggressive without looking too ricey. Is there a better rear diffuser I can use? Also Is there a more premium lip splitter I could use?
.....or should I not do any of these things because theyd look too ricey? Im open for opinions. 😅

people were out running to Home Depot to get the garage flex seal to add to their lips.
now-a-day's companies make this flex lip specifically for cars. it's all the same shit, a flexy plastic/rubber material that can be molded and attached to the bottom of the cars

that particular lip is a flexy rubber material. it will last however long the manufactures intednded it to last via rubber construction/making of the rubber.
if its a plastic lip; it will last as long as you dont run into shit.
if it's a carbon fiber/ fiber glass lip; it will last as long as you dont run into shit.
Don't run into shit.

The inconvenient truth
Oh its ricey but it really depends if it looks like it belongs there or not. I like to think the one on my car does. Its held there with two sided tape and two screws that are screwed into clips on either side.

Im a little different when It comes to rims, but those look like 19/20 Inch? What modifications have you done?
The diffuser definitely looks like It belongs, dosent even stand out at all. Good job! 😎

Thanks man ive done a lot of mods to it. If you want you can check out my build thread here; https://acurazine.com/forums/4g-tl-p...report-959395/
The main mods are those 20x9.5 rims and lowered on tein coil overs. Yes the tires do rub a little in the back when going over big dips but its not really a big deal to me. I plan to get some control arms and put more negative camber on the backs so they clear the edge of the wheel wells.

If I do have rubbing with 20' Inch rims, how would you prevent that? Ive read something about cutting fenders?

there are several ways to mitigate rubbing.
First, you need to identify where it's rubbing at. if the fender is cutting into the tire, which is the most common culprit, you can roll the fender of any sharp creases.
test fit and identify any more contact spots.
Do more work, then test fit again.
you can also put on a narrower tire, which means less rubber will come in contact with fender and the road as well.
