I had these and they will be stable as long as you mount them well. I used bolts with lock nuts on the upper side. I bet I could almost stand on them as they were no way going anywhere at any speed. Make sure you use large fender type washers in the underside as well to distribute the pressure. I used four bolts on each one. I since changed to a slightly different style but mounted the same. It is a little tough to do this on the upper side as it is tight in that area. You will need to take a few screws out of the bottom cover to gain access.

I believe it was the link that someone already posted on the thread. I currently have ones that flare up on the sides. The splitters ( even though universal fit) fit the design of the bumper very well and look like they were made for it. Some versions of the splitter shown are not finished on the bottom and there is a brand that is finished on both sides. If you consider a purchase, I would look for the version that is finished on both sides as it is a nice smooth finish on the bottom and if you happen to lightly scrape the bottom, they will hold up better than the one that is not finished on the bottom side due to a sharp edge.

I think they look great as well. If you only use a washer with a screw rather than a bolt with a lock nut, I would strongly suggest you changing it as it will not hold up to wind pressure or a bump very long. The ABS underneath the bumper is not strong enough to hold the screw over time.
