I had to use rivets to get mine to stay put. If I pushed the back of the side spat hard to line up, the front would bow out bad. So I just riveted (2 of them)same thing with the CF exhaust shield. The look good though and you can't really tell I riveted it unless you get up close.
Here is my honest feedback. They are paper thin and very cheaply made. You need a couple of washers underneeth to make them fit right as well as drilling another whole and a screw in the wheel well side to have them fit right. You get what you pay for and these are cheaper than the alternatives so I am not complaining, but they are not perfect. If money is no onject than look further. Also you need to add some more double sided tape along the entire edge. Otherwise rocks will quickly find there way in and mess up the fitiment further.

Spats
Ive got an apex silver. I ve had the spat for a couple of weeks. The tape sucks, youll need to get 3m stuff and a lot of it. One of them was a little mis formed so it bowed out. I got it close to the body with tape. They look good now!
It's all in the install. Be generous withe the double sided tape and you will be fine. Just be sure to get the thin stuff so it does not hold the spat far off the body. If you have any space, rocks and sand will find there way in there.
