Default Installing Fiberglass Rear Flares ala 924 Carrera GT

So I am preparing to install my fiberglass rear flares on my 924S.
They are A.I.R. flares.
Does anyone know of anyway to help the fiberglass flex while installing so it wont crack? Heat?

I spent the last hour searching the archives and I have googled too.

I don't want to blend the flares into the body, so they look more like the real CGT flares, so should I just bolt them on, or maybe use some sort of epoxy?

Here are the flares:

Fiberglass is where it is after it cures. Heat probably won't help it flex. I'd suggest to bolt them on using large washers to disperse the load and reduce cracking.
