Thank you very much!
I was thinking more like

1) remove air dam
2) tape up the bumper
3) remove bumper
4) attach air dam to bumper
5) lie the airdam/bumper face down so that you can work on the backside of the airdam
6) apply 2-3 layers of fiberglass and resin to the backside of the airdam
7) if you get the fiberglass resin from Lowes or home depot, they only take about 20-30 minutes to dry

8) Now you've created a stiff "backing" for the airdam that should contour better with the bumper
9) drill holes and screw the airdam to the fiberglass backing for rigidity

hope this helps
