BTW, your mounting method is more robust than mine. I wanted fewer bolts and all behind for a stealthier look. Great solid work, hey.
I'm hoping the number of screws I have in it as well as the plastic push clip thingys from the factory air dam will prevent it from failing, but I guess only time will tell. From the pictures on your build thread it looks like your lawn edging is a little different from mine.

Sheesh, you guys are scaring me now in regards to its durability lol.

Credit for most of the work goes to my dad. Originally I was just going to use the plastic things and zip ties for attaching.

Eventually this summer I might go and redo all my mods to make them look "better", per se, but we'll see.

BTW, how did you attach your side skirts? I saw the picture in your build thread, but didn't see any how-to, unless I'm just that blind and missed it..
