The stock bolt locations made it pretty easy.

When it wears out, I can make another one with the other half of the material.

And for later, I plan on making some metal brackets to angle the front egde upward to the radiator.

I made the same thing about two years ago on my race car (F-prepared / GT2). Rules allowed me to have a front end that was as close to the ground as possible as long as it did not touch when the car was stationary on a flat surface. After watching a video of my car on the track I discovered a MAJOR problem with it. At speeds over 50ish it became completely useless because the center of it would fold back under the car. Then added some aluminum bracing around the bottom lip so it would not fold up but then I had to remove it ever time I pulled the car on/off my trailer. It became too much trouble and I eventually just threw it away.

It is possible that yours is far enough off the ground that it does not fold up but you might want to have some friends look at it when you are driving at various speeds to see what it does.

I have to compliment you on your attention to detail and clean install. It does not look ghetto to me.
