I like my new one, but it still does not fit perfectly, and I am afraid to hit it with the ray gun again because I might make it worse.

Thanks so much fellas! Funny you mention that Jedi Sol. I just mailed a local politician earlier asking if (after tomorrow's election) he would donate a few of his MASSIVE (circa 4'x6') coroplast signs to me for my under-carraige. Ha! I even told him to consider using his signs to line the county police cars, if he indeed gets elected to Sheriff. Ahahahahaha! I crack myself up...
Fitment is actually pretty good on this, though certainly not store-bought perfect. I'm hoping the form will settle in a bit more on the corners over time/heat exposure, etc... But really, I'm quite happy with it, for an hour or so of elbow grease and some landscaping material. My personal favorite part about the outcome of this was...and this was strictly coincidence/me getting lucky...that the distance from the top of the black trim on the bumper to the beginning of the OEM VX lip is the exact same distance I decided to go down from the VX lip to the beginning of the lawn edging. It's about 1/4" for each, if you look in the pics. It's the mirror image of this measurement that I feel really ties in the design rather smoothly coming off of the bumper.
Here's some more pics. One side I did a decent job with the fitment in my cut as the bumper ends near the wheel-well (drivers side). The other side...missed it by about 1/8". Urggg. I didn't lose sleep over it last night, but I sure did think about it quite a few times!
