That looks like a good price for what it is but I doubt it will have enough positive effect to offset it's weight (if you care). Seems perfect for a civic or BRZ. I've thought about splitting the exhaust as well and building a deep diffuser up to the height of the bumper but really don't understand how they work- it's got to earn it's keep on my car. I've wondered if I could trade a diffuser for a wing on a track car to decrease overall drag while sucking the rear down...Porsche did real aero and anytime we let airflow in somewhere
we risk adding drag and/or increasing lift.
