Has anyone boiled this stuff in hot water to see if it can be hammered or molding a bit or so.???
I tried a heat gun. Not very effective. I used the curvature built in for the curvature of the airdam. Infact, that curvature offers some rigidity under speed, against the air flow. You probably don't need the airdam to be even with the lower part of the bumper. Instead all you really need is to keep air from going fully under the car and from crashing straight into the front of the tires.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
