Thought I would post this for reference:

Front flaps:? 17802161 (with production running boards)
Rear Flaps:? 12499846 (with black bowtie logo)

Installation was easy and looks clean to me, hope this is useful to someone.

69 Z11, Looks good. Do you like the look with or without better? Thanks for the pics, been trying to decide on whether to get them or not. Would hate to catch a rock.
 
Drilling:? Yes, one hole on each of the rear flaps, 1/8" into the bottom of the fender, not visible in the photos.? There is a dimple already in place and the screw has sealant on it.? Two holes on each side for the front, these are into the front edge of the running board (plastic), they tie the flap back against the running board so there is no gap.? You are cautioned to not overtighten these, they would strip out fairly easy.? A plastic push connecter would work fine here too, but screws are provided.

Brookie:? I think they look pretty good, but to be honest, most vehicles look better without.? That's just not an option for me, I'm in the mud and rain too much.? I think the best way to look at it is to sight down your door from the window and look at your front tire.? Mud and crud basically can be thrown straight up and can cover your whole door, it can even hit the mirror!? When the flaps are on, looking down the same sighting plane, you can't see the tire until you get back to the back edge of the door.? The flap keeps the crud from flipping onto the door, the mirror, and the running board.? I think it's worth it.

Limnator:? Here's the numbers for a Tahoe, looks like both are different.? Weird, I would think the fronts would be the same:

Molded Splash Guards - Front, No Logo, With Running Boards, Without Fender Flares, Black
? 17802157
?
Molded Splash Guards - Rear, With Bowtie Logo, Black, Without Fender Flares
? 17802159
?

 
I got 'em from one of the site sponsers for $32 for each set.  I saw them for as low as $28 somewhere but the shipping was ridiculous.
 
69 Z11    Got mine put mine on last night they look great and fit snug everywhere but against the running board. Couldn't tell from your pic but are yours snug or do they have a little space?
 
Brookie:  With just the top two factory screws in place mine had a gap, maybe 3/8".  And the two screws that are supposed to go into the edge of the running board were hitting on the outside corner.  Didn't look quite as tight as I wanted.  I decided redrill the bottom hole (the pre-drilled hole in the flap furthest towards the center of the truck) and push the flap in against the running board.  This closed the gap to about 1/8".  It also centered the two screws that go into the running board edge better.
 
I am not sure how mine were installed (my step-dad did it at the dealership) but there is almost no noticeable gap.  I agree, I like the look much better without, but living in MI with the snow and salt and rocks I would rather save the paint job.

The gap we are referring to is between the running board and the inside edge of the flap:


 
I don't think so.  They have two part numbers but they both say "Non Z71"
