Did you trim off the clips on the little pieces?

Luke,

Did a test fit; I haven't removed my OEM, yet. I need to log into "Alldata" and validate that the GSF has/doesn't have that clip first and I'll modify it if need be. If not, straight plug and play.

IC. How does it fit? from the picture, it looks like the gap doesn't really align

The one for GSF only has the fender piece. It doesn't come with the little piece on the rear bumper

Why are these pieces even on the rear fender arch from the factory? Any advantage to these larger ones other than looks?

only the JDM GSF has the fender piece coming off from the factory. I really have no idea why they have it on but I assume it's used to pass some kind of automobile regulations in Japan.

Luke,

It's because of the "Clip" it's "Hitting" the "OEM" one, but it'll align up, once the "OEM" is off.

PS: I'll provide pictures when it's done for reference...

Thanks for the picture for reference...

I kept seeing those little things on the RCF and GSF and couldn't figure out why they were there.

No idea what it does, maybe it's just kind of so call aerodynamic parts like the one below here lol

I just use them to hide my pulled fender.

They are called wheel spats and are to reduce the amount of airflow hitting the tires.

Cool. My neighbor just got a new NX and hers has those little spats also. I guess they're doing it for everything.
