So buy a generic one and bolt it up, or get to fabbing. The LeMons guys do it with some sheet metal and L brackets, nothing stopping you from doing the same thing.

Sure there is. Lack of tools to do decent custom work.

Thank you for all the input so far.

You don't have basic hand tools, and some metal shears? Metal shears are stupidly cheap. You can get 8 square feet of sheet aluminum (or steel, if you want to go really cheap) for next to nothing. A few small nuts and bolts, and some Rustoleum to spray it so it doesn't rust out. Hell, you could probably fab a basic rear diffuser for $50-$70 in parts. Mount the receding edge straight to the bumper, the leading edge somewhere near the gas tank (I'm thinking the parking brake cable mounting points would work well), cut a hole in it for your exhaust. Mount four or five fins to the main sheet with some L brackets, paint it all black, and have a semi-stealthy setup for half a bill and a weekend of work.

God damnit, now I want to make a project out of this...I'll tell ya what, PayPal me $200, I'll create a functioning prototype, then a more refined final version, and you can have your choice of the two

I just made one for my 93 del sol last weekend. Just waiting on my front lip to arrive to install it. I will post some pics of it once its up. It wasn't too hard at all. just used a couple of sheets of sheets metal, a rubber hammer, angle grinder and some bolts and paint! Just make sure to go to the dollar store and get a few sheets of that hard foam board and use a glue gun to make a prototype so you can just use that as a template after and you don't make any boo boo's.
