A fat S2K can pull it off, an NSX too, but for a prelude it's too much imho. I would rather look at some mugen rears with a small diffuser. Also, when you cut it in to the bumper, it looks like an ugly aftermarket one they copied from the fast and the furious.
BUT; It's your car, your rules.

My only concern would be how you stop the wind from getting in between the diffuser and the floor of the boot. If you cant stop the wind from being there it will not be fictional, damage performance and potentially damage the car.

I have seen a Lude with a nice diffuser on it and it looks very cool.

This is certainly a winning combination...

... Rear diffuser and roof rack (That you know he never removes) ;)

I do think that Spoon diffuser can definitely be made to look good, but as Merlin says, just make sure it serve as much of its purpose as it can.

Out of interest what does the rest of your car look like?

Yep. I like the way the top of the boot has been carefully designed to cause turbulent flow to keep the rear end down.
