I have those on the rear of my van. I had to modify the stainless steel
angle piece to bolt it to the frame rail inboard of the flap.The result is a
VERY sturdy flap attachment. I like and recommend them. I also have the the
OE fronts.
Because the flap attaches to the fender well rim at the bottom, I had to
remove the Syncro mini flap.
I put 3 SS screws through the fender and into the thick edge of the flap
where it attaches to the fender.
I also used silicone glue at that point and on the inside where the screw
heads are to eliminate corrosion
or rust problems and to seal the interface where the flap sits on the fender
lip.
Worked out well.
Not a great view but you'll get the idea of the end result:

And one of both the flaps and the "stud-pile" it left on the road:
