Three quick questions.
How long did the install take?
Did you have help holding it in place.
And last did you trim it before or after?

Install for just the air dam took about 1.5 hours. i spent about 30 minutes trimming the bottom of the lawn edging for appearance purposes though.
To mock up the install i used some quick grip clamps until i could get a couple screws in.
I trimmed it about 2" long and started with one side where i wanted it and then trimmed the extra when i was all done.

If I was you, my next project would be filling in that huge gap between the bumper and body, all the way around from tire to tire. Just a thought. :-)
