JDM Rear Diffuser compatible with NA bumper?

Hey all, I am thinking of jumping on the current sale and picking up the OEM rear diffuser but I wanted to see if anyone can confirm that the JDM part is compatible with the USDM bumper. I am pretty sure it is but since Japan Parts doesn't except returns, I wanted to see if anyone has installed one in the States. Thanks for the input! Link below for reference.

Warning the following is my personal sarcastic opinion. So take it like a man (gay pun)

So NA bumper you say? And JDM? Eh? Clearly you google-fu is weak.

Pretty sure sure there has yet to be any forced induction model offered by either Toyota or Subaru. So it's a safe bet it would fit any '13-'15 models.

As for the "jdm" I'm pretty sure it's offered at your local Toyota or Subaru dealer, thus nullified "jdm".

So just to point out how much of a **** I can be, and your low google-fu, you could find a decent, cheap knock off off eBay that's pretty much the same but for $60 shipped from some California warehouse.

I sincerely apologize for sounding rude. At the time if this post I was drunk. And in my head is sounded hella funny.

Oh, yes it would fit your car. Glad I could help.

Yep, same as the one offered here.

By "NA" I'm assuming he means "North America" though most of us would call that USDM spec...

All good. I googled it quite a bit and was fairly certain it is the same part. However I did inquire with Japan Parts for their input and they told me that the diffuser offered here (US) is not offered in Japan, la la la. Just figured I'd hit up the community here so I could sleep soundly and not worry about getting a $500 piece of plastic I can't use. Going with a complete OEM build so unfortunately the $60 knock offs are a no go for me. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the confirmation! Whoops, post updated, of course I meant USDM spec.

Yes that part will fit a normally aspirated car. Not sure why anyone would get one of those when these are available.

Different strokes for different folks. Last I checked the FT86 item is not an OEM item.

+1

I bought my STI sides and front from the dealer I bought the car from. Talked them into a 10% discount and no shipping. I could not find where to beat that price on line!

I agree! I just did not see where the OEM on the back had any aerodynamic benefit compared to the FT86 one.

I know it's purchasable from the low price of $750 MSRP. Even with a 15% discount it is $640 from a local dealer/online. Japanparts is running a 15% off sale this week and I can get it shipped to the door for $490.
