I received a PM asking about the air dam:
Quote:
I am very curious as to exactly how you attached the landscape edging to your OEM air dam on your Civic. I have some lawn edging (4") with a loop on one side and was curious if you just used screws through the loop side every 4" or so to attach it directly?
I will cut it down to 3" and hope the snow/ice chunk drops from vehicles don't tear it off!
Thanks!

Some photos... pardon the road salt mess. (MAN, that's a lot of road salt! No wonder our cars fall apart after 2 years in southern Ontario winters.)
I put the airdam on "loop side" up, and screwed through the loop into the extreme upper portion of the small factory rubber air dam. Probably more than every 4".
3.5" of clearance. It scrapes regularly on dips & driveways, but I haven't "hit" anything with it yet.
Screws... clearly not stainless...
To keep the lawn edging from being pushed back by air pressure, I braced it using short sections of lawn edging. There's enough give in them that if the air dam hit something, they would slide down as the airdam came backward.
