The OE bumper insert flares are a pain and you need to drill bumper and make sure you get it right.
I got the OE extended flares because I work a dealer and with discount,no point in getting fibregass !
Dont be put off by these fibreglass extended flares,with a little work and the essential textured spray,once fitted, they will look OE.
Thanks! That made it a lot easier

The thing I'm most worried about gluing on, is the parts on the rear bumper. How it will keep up with small rocks getting rocketed out by the tires, snow and slush splash in the winter etc. But I guess I'll find out
