The photo of the front tire spat looks much like the one on my 2014 Ford Fusion complete with the vertical slit several inches inboard from the outside edge of the spat.
Measured the front tire spat on my Fusion and found it was 7 inches wide from outside edge to the vertical slit where it then curves back. The vertical height was 2 inches.
Measured the rear tire spat of a Honda Accord hybrid and found it to be 1.5 inches tall and 5 inches wide. It is about the same height above the ground as the Fusion. I have noticed that the more distance above the ground, the taller the rear tire spat is on most vehicles. This makes sense with the ground effect of the lower cars.
I have decided on a rear tire spat of 1.5 inches tall and 7 inches wide with some aero curves for retro fit on my Fusion. Will probably use the aluminum angle stock in the surplus metal rack in the garage. Have considered a trip to a scrap yard to re-purpose a set of tire spats from a imported car as a secondary option if the aluminum adventure does not work out.
Next task is to examine the underside of the rear of the Fusion to see what I have to work with in regards to attachment of the custom design tire spats.
