I also did the lawn edging solution. But my attachment technique has always been inferior. I have wanted easy removal for towing. And I wanted to avoid ripples in the lawn edging plastic. So I attached under the bumper cover at the maximum arc the edging could take and used 6 or 8 screws and zip ties. The zip ties were for the end in front of the tow hook. My attachments have three times partially failed in 4 years of driving. The attachments, however, only fail one or two at a time. I hear a scrape or see a droop and repair. It does not come flying off. Not even close.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
