It's got fixable cracks. On one hand, $300 is steep. On the other, these are rare, and they're not making any.

I have a similar crack on mine, on the other side though.

I would not pay $300 for that one. A very good example (no cracks) just sold on volvospeed for $250 plus shipping, and VIVA performance lists pn 9151251 for 379. (Although I've not heard good things about VIVA, nor does it mean it's in stock). I believe there are also some aftermarket reproductions out there as well.

I doubt they are talking about the bumper with the spoiler. they are talking about the lower black lip that can be mounted to the bumper. So if you have no R spoiler, you can't mount it anywhere. Europeantuning in Holland has them too, but with a clearer description.

I think RSPI shows a fake R bumper on someones cars in a video. It looks fake though
