Just spoke with my motor trimmer guy and he is going to make up some spats in a tough but flexible vinyl that is matched to the car body colour. Low key appearance wanted. Also, he suggested that it can use the same fitting points (i.e., 'lift-a-dot' fasteners) as the tonneau and hood (if fitted). As it is likely that the spat and tonneau are fitted at the same time, the corner 'lift-a-dot's ' can be the double (height) ones to take both. The spats will protect a greater area of the fender than most of the chrome/SS plates as far as I can see. I plan on using the 3M adhesive material (polycarbonate?) along the bottom sills where they are easier to fit.
