Is there an OEM underlip spoiler?

I dont know if it would be called OEM but it was from the Subaru parts catalog part number: E2410FG120

I would feel more comfortable to buy a grill from people who make them for a living then try to do a DIY on my new (relatively expensive) car.

This. +1 to what Dfv2 said as well.

Get a tune. The stock tune isn't just bad, it's dangerous. Subaru had to sacrifice engine longevity to meet emissions standards. I'm driving around on the stock tune right now while I sort some things out.. and it's driving me nuts. It hesitates and bucks at WOT, feels anemic and the throttle position has nothing to do with the pedal position making shifting a chore.

With the rest of your $2300 (more if you did an open source tune), buy some camber bolts, get an alignment and buy your alignment guy a sixpack of his favorite brew to get everything dialed in.

Install some swaybars.

Get the shifter bushings (TIC's holy shift kit is great) but only get the shifter if you're certain you want a higher effort for shifting.

Lightweight wheels with better tires.

Spend the rest on suspension bushings, save for a downpipe or go to a trackday.
