just get along to a body shop and get a price to cut out the rot and weld in new metal. it just comes back if you patch it up or rub down and respray it. mine are bad and ive been quoted 400 to do the pair including paint which seems reasonable to me. supposedly it does work if you take a front wing from the opposite side and cut out the shape of the arch and the radius is roughly the same and it comes with the added bonus of a new hanger flange for the rear bumper to attach to.
