Add on chin spoiler product

I saw this on the Saturday TV car shows and wanted to share it with the group. Please excuse this post if it has already been discussed. I have no relationship with this product, just saw it and thought it might be something other efficiency nuts might find useful.

Cross section of what you're looking at

I went with paver edging, similar L shape, less expensive. Hard scraping has only filed a little material off the paver edging, where I'd be worried about that product used as a chin spoiler, might grip the pavement and get pulled loose

I am not a big fan of the website, it's the ease of use or lack of.

Handsome product, some of them look a little more like splitters than chin spoliers.

The side skirts are interesting to, don't get to see them until you click the order page.

It's the classic garage door gasket that people have been using for years from home improvement stores. Longer ones are probably stiffer foam but the idea is the same; flexible strip of C-channel, double sided tape, lots of patience getting everything just right so it looks good. Neat to see them making bigger ones, depending on the price of a roll, could be worth experimenting with.

They know their market paint, carbon fiber wrap, or Plastdip. Ecomodders would just slap it on and let it grind.
