the plastic is very thin, i cut out a thick paper mockup to the desired shape. then trimmed the plastic out from the paper template. i then took a lighter and slowly began bending the plastic to the desired shape, i would heat and bend some then hold up to the car. heat and bend some more and hold up to the car. eventually it was near perfect form, at that point i roughed up the abs where the silicone would adhere and laid a bead of silicone on the car where it would need to touch the plastic. i placed the plastic over the silicone and used painters tape to hold it over night to allow the silicone to firm up.
