Install said it would take 20 mins, that's a bit conservative as we were mounting it in a different configuration than most people do. Took us about an hour with some test-fitting to get the positioning right. But wow this thing is quality and it turned out great. 100% worth the money! Color match is spot on.
Before (under the porch awning is wet because I sprayed it with a hose to get the spider webs out):

There's a little lip where the underside fascia sticks out and hits the shade when the wind hits it. I don't think it will damage it in the long run but I may swing by Lowes and get a long thin piece of clear plastic tubing and wrap the lip that juts out just in case. The afternoon sun hasn't even directly hit it yet and it already felt a few degrees cooler under there!
