With an election looming, there will be plenty of Coro to play with, soon. I assume ~1/4" to ~1/2" thickness is best, but what do people with experience say?

4' width: On my BMW 325is I plan to use a 4X8 sheet, flutes running lengthwise along the car centerline. This will leave a ~6" gap on each side, so hope to have short sections in that width running from the lower lip of the plastic bumper cover back to attach to the rear portion of the control arms, zip tied and intended to flex up and down with the control arm. Hence my questions above about the RAV4 application.

Fog lights: Mine always seem to get broken by rocks and road debris, as being so close to the ground they're in a bad environment. Maybe move the fog lights up into the radiator inlet area, giving some effective blocking that airflow? Would make for a cleaner/easier attachment of the Coro to the lower bumper.

Cutouts for hot spots: Face those edges with aluminum foil tape or wide electricians tape?
