I did this exact install last weekend and would recommend you use something (or someone) to help push the blades flush against the rocker panel before securing both ends. Basically take out the sag/slack to ensure that once you start screwing the middle in, there's no bulges created by the sag. Otherwise the DIY video is spot on.
So my buddy tells me they’re 80% cf and 20% something else.
Having said that, they did develop Tiny cracks around the screw holes. I should have predrilled them. My mistake.

Great point about the middle. I actually ended up taping them in the middle to eliminate the slack.

Thanks for watching the video by the way!
