I recently put a lawn edging type air dam on a 2003 Focus that doesn't have that stock dam back from the front edge. I found that it tends to hit when entering driveways and will be an issue in winter for sure.

The poly lawn edging is tuff stuff and is ideal for an air dam....and putting it back on that OEM dam would be ideal in that you wouldn't have the scraping issue. For stiffness you can insert a metal rod into the hollow part at the bottom....and shape it how you want.

Home Depot 20 ' ...for $7.

I have noticed a lot of women crowding around and people thinking I'm driving for NASCAR though.
