LCI rear diffuser in 2018?

I would like to change my rear diffuser but do not care for many of the aftermarket options I've seen.

I think the updated rear diffuser on the LCI models look great would that easily retrofit onto a 2018-2020?

I'm sure someone out there with an LCI is going to upgrade their diffuser and I could pick one up on the secondhand market or just grab one from the dealer?

Will it fit?

Following. To the eye, the diffusers look to be almost the same shape, but the bumper cover on the LCI also looked to be slightly different.

I think you will have a tough time finding one that people are selling because they swapped it out. Most people, myself included, keep the old one to put back on for various reasons, including the replacement not standing the test of time.

New one is around 150$. It will meed some amall modifications as the latches do not fit but when done it looks awsome. I did on my G30.

You have any pics of the end result on your car??

How difficult are these "small" modifications. Does it ultimately fit correctly - in terms of the exhaust cut outs and where the diffuser lines up with the bumper is all of that The same?
