Put outside screws very near outside edge of trim piece so no gap but be careful not to distort lip of triangle w/washer or when clamping. Gitr done!
How many screws did you use? Thanks.

Here's a pic of the screw w/spring washer attached. I used 5 screws on outside edge of flap, #1 being in pointed top part, #5 being at very bottom, then #6 being on inside edge at bottom & 2 more up inside edge. I realize this might be overkill but wanted outside edge pulled snug to triangular trim pc. w/no gap. They are black so they are not real obvious.

I have a brand new set of the factory GM extended splash guards. I accidently bought 2 sets and they wouldn't refund me my money. Paid $130 for the front and back. I will sell for $100 shipped. PM me if interested

Same part. I bought a set for my 2014 Stingray. Took them off when I traded for my Z06 and put on the Z06. Piece of cake.

Side skirts work best for protecting your rear quarters. You can't see the bigger GM splash guards I installed but they are there.
