Thanks for the follow up, Wavey. Feel free to send your pics to my personal email address. Good point about needing a lip for the aluminum backing to mount the air dam to!

I did almost exactly the same thing as Bill and Ed. 4" X .25" conveyor belt material from a farm supply store, 1" X .125" aluminum bar from Lowe's, stainless allen head hardware. Pics below. The aluminum was relatively easy to form to the bumper (bumper has to have the vertical lip at the back, some don't). I installed with about 2.5" exposed, leaving about 2" ground clearance with my lowered ride height. Wrapped the belt around the sides and radiussed the ends.
I found this worked really well - gave me a little give for parking curbs and road debris, but didn't deform at speed. The difference in the car, with this and the 3.0 Carrera tail, was very noticeable - really settled it down, and it just got better with speed. I saw +/- 150 a few times and the car was rock solid.
