I added the lawn edging air dam a couple of weeks ago and have driven about 1500 miles on it so far and I'm impressed. It is very durable and has taken a coulple of hits from speed bumps and parking stops and you wouldn't know after. It's flexible enough that it just bends out of the way. I got lucky by finding some in the dumpster and it even had the ridges at the bottom cut off. I just used wood screws to attach it directly to the plastic bumper.

Expect to get about 3-years of use out of lawn edging in a Michigan-like climate.

I've extended that to 4-years, but it ain't pretty.

Good news is it's cheap and easily replaced.
