Looks nice! Is it the same splitter that Group4 is selling?
It looks like you need to cut notches out in the bumper cover for the brackets correct? Also trim off the part that hangs down on the bumper so the splitter will sit flush.
Would like to see an under car photo if you get a chance!-

You do need to cut two notches in the bumper cover, and the part that hangs down (which I'd already done for the group 4 anyway), takes maybe 5 minutes or less with a dremel.
Next time I get the car up I'll take a picture underneath. But it's like adding a skid plate underneath, a nice bonus.-

Call Jan at RMW; to be honest, I don't remember the cost--bought it last year, installed it this year, as I was waiting on a GP front bumper and brake ducts before installing everything.
I know Jan had one left in stock as of earlier this week.
I'll put some video up at Road America before/after splitter when I get a chance, to give you and idea of what it does--it's very noticeable in the car, and you can see it in the video as well.
EDIT:
Here is video the last time out before the splitter--looks like I'm on a trampoline coming up from 14 to 1; also, cresting the hill, the car lifts--with the splitter it compresses, very noticeable.

And here is the video after. The car shots aren't the same, but the bouncing is substantially less, the car is sitting down. Toward the end of the straight I quit accelerating on purpose, I was working on entry speed into 1, trying to figure out what I could do, more than top speed on the front straight. I can take turn one much faster than before, and get on the throttle sooner, but it actually FEELS slower, there is no drama, the car just sticks and goes.
