Hey Bruce, thanks for reaching out!
The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Ki # RM97RR does require excessive trimming of the air dam system so you won't be able to install the louvers back onto your 2024 Ford Maverick.
If you really like that feature then you'll want to go with the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM77YV instead. They designed their kit to sit out a little further so you won't be doing nearly as much trimming for the Demco install.

Hey Bruce, how did things turn out with the base plate on your Maverick hybrid? Did the Demco kit give you the clearance you wanted for the louvers? Your update could make it easier for others facing the same choice.
