I have used that in the past as an air deflector. It has a nice rubbery look to it and looks more professional than the shiny plastic lawn edging. It's easy to cut, and comes in rolls of 20'.
The price has gone up quite a bit in the last few years though, and the stuff is surprisingly heavy in large quantities.
The main thing I had to say about it though is that over time it has a tendency to become brittle ( over 2-3 years ) in the areas where it is fastened to the bumper, so I'll be sure to use larger washers next time.
