Some of the "camber" in the part seemed to get lost during construction. See how it's lifted off the trunk lid at the rear corners? I'm hoping it will flex it back down when I tape it on. It also lost some fore/aft camber -- I think putting in the plexiglass did that.

I was hoping to use this on a trip I'm taking tomorrow/Thurs, but it's pretty cold out and I'm reluctant to try taping it on in these temps. I'd like to get the car inside the workshop and warm everything up first. I'll probably save that for something to do on Sunday afternoon.
