E91 fitment of OEM M3 side skirts (Longtran method?)

After reading the forums and researching pictures I've come to the assumption that all M3 reps for e90/91 fall a little flat in comparison to real OEM M3 side skirts (don't carry the accent ridge far enough to the rear, plus have a weird line on the top rear). I also understand that due to wider fenders, the OEM sides are not a direct fit to E90/91 but a guy named Longtran had developed some process in getting the sides to fit well. I can't seem to find any info on how he did this and if he created/provided some sort of mounting bracket. He also looks to be inactive in the site so i can't reach out directly. Hoping to get some feedback on the best way to mount these sides to my E91. I just can't settle for the reps.

I'd envisage a little heat and making sure the clips are secure on E90 skirts.

Seems as though **********s has their own M3 reps, and look better than the others I've seen

Pretty sure Long Tran = LTMW here in SoCal. Might be able to find contact info on their site or something.
