The material is a full sheet of PVC measuring 4'x8'.
Cost for the complete sheet was $80 and it took under a third of it to make the airdam.
Bending it was pretty easy with a heat gun ($7.99 @ Harbor Freight) and I used a steel stud to clamp the PVC to and create a nice straight flange.
I'm attaching a pic for you to see.

I gotthe sheet in a local plastic speciality retailer but IIRC there are some online vendors that will sell you similar sizes.
I'd try your local sign shop first.

My bumper _just_ clears my service ramps so it's as low as I'd want to go with a solid material.
However, nothing prevents you from using rubber strips as an extension for the bodywork that could rub on driveways once in a while.
I've seen it done on racecars more than once and I find it more appealing than designing and operating active bodywork.
