Ok, I got these installed.
On a Vanagon that did not initially come with these like mine, the savvy Vanagon owner will realize that a proper fastener setup will be required. I suggest a threaded rivet rather than some push in fastener. There will be some force applied to these by the moving air, never mind an occasional curb.
The holes already exist in the proper location, except for the two side pieces. Three holes per side will need to be drilled through the panel's bottom. On these side pieces, three speed nuts and corresponding screws will be needed per side. Save yourself unnecessary future hassle and use stainless hardware here. Anything else will rust up quickly.

Gave it a wipe with detailer to match the spiffy flares. I think they look pretty good considering what they looked like a month ago?
