Here I used vinyl siding I had on hand to fashion an air dam that's 2 1/2" lower than the bumper. Painted black. I have no idea how long it'll last, but it seems pretty strong with the curves. I've reefed on it and it's held fast. The bumper deflects more than the siding.

I put this on last night and can't wait to see how it affects FE.

In the last picture you can see the side skirts I installed last night too.

You'll notice damage on passenger front quarter panel from a fellow who tried to turn left through my car. Body shop in a few weeks so I'll pull off the skirts and air dam before I give it to them.
