Well what's the difference between a 2010 GS driver side fender and a 2011-2013 GS? Nothing. So given the same problem is mentioned on other threads for the last few years they should have been looking at the mold and fixing the problem as opposed to continue to sell an inferior product. To bad, I would have liked to put them on my GS but not worth the 200 bucks and the aggravation to make them fit. Not sure on how the apsis fits but those are 150 more.

I just got a set and I'll just say this will be the last RPI product I purchase, after talking w RPI they assured me they would fit and even told me how to install. Passenger side fit perfect. Drivers side a complete disaster, mold not even close to being correct like everyone has said. Now with all the complaints, please RPI how do you continue to not fix the mold an continue to send out a defective part. I guess this is just how RPI operates as with there Zr1 spoiler issues. Don't correct the design issue just keep trying to sell it.
Maybe RPI should redesign the drivers side and send us all a replacement!
Btw. For those thinking about the mud flaps, unless u want to spend 2-3hrs screwing w drives side. Don't buy. I had a nightmare getting it to fit And had to sawzall bottom inner lower piece cause the mold was so warped otherwise it would of hit the tire turning. I wasn't about to return after installing pass side n already drilling holes on drivers. I just made it work. Worth $200 NO

I agree 100%

I will be contacting them also. Installed a set a couple weeks ago, passenger side went on in 5 minutes and looks great. Drivers side sucks, it's like it has a twist to it and it wants to pull away from the fender when it's screwed into the fender well.

Got mine in 2012 and they went on easy enough and still look good. Have they gotten sloppy?

Passenger side took about 30 mins to installed. Drivers side is a major PITA!! I lost track of time after the 3 hours mark!! And the guards still needed some modification to make it fit. This is NOT a simple plug and play. It involves cutting, bending, drilling, tweaking and a whole lot of patience. If anybody here can install the drivers side splash guard in 1 hour or less, I would like to hear how they did it. Here are some pics.

I have been looking into these... RPI, can you confirm that a change has been made to make these properly fit? Do you have pictures of the carbon fiber set and what the carbon side and non-carbon sides look like? Thanks!

RPI front splash guards
I have the same issue on mine. The passenger side is flush all the way. The drivers has 1/8" gap over about 4". The predrilled holes aren't slotted to allow them to be positioned and tightened down when flush. I'd much rather perfer them to fit like intented without reengineering! I was thinking of removing it and using a heat gun to get the twist out to help them fit flush also. Any suggestions??? RPI???
Update: last night I decided to add one screw like they sent to the area on drivers side which took care of gap. Since that thew my balance off, I added one on the passenger side so they matched. I did notice the passenger side sits about 1/2" lower. Now will have to live with it or pull off and buy new liners.

A guy in our club purchased these splash guards June/2015. Had a hell of a time getting decent fitment on the drivers side. Said he'd go a different route (vendor) if he had to do it again.
