Southco fasteners for rear skirts?

Someone on Yahoo pointed to some Southco parts 85-47-101-20 and 85-47-460-20 as replacement parts for the DZUS-style quarter turn fastener & receptable for the rear fender skirts.

Though Southco has a minimum $5000 order requirement, they're quite generous with product samples (as long as you have a business name and a FedEx account to cover shipping :)). So now I have a ten-pack of each, bolts and receptacles. But I also have a few questions...

Has anyone posting to InsightCentral boards used these on their own Insight? If so, how did you remove the original DZUS receptacle and make the Southco on fit? How corrosion resistant are these parts?

Free fasteners anyone?

Interest in these seems to have died down, but if anyone wants them, I have some of those Southco stainless steel fasteners available. I decided long ago I wouldn't use them, and they have just been sitting around. The catch is-- I'm missing one of the clips. So I have 3 clips and 4 bolts. Maybe someone just needs a few? Let me know and I'll send them to you for the cost of shipping.
