Anyone used the Extreme Dimensions 996->997 Fenders?

Extreme Dimensions was having a sale on the BMW forums, so out of curiosity, I was inquiring about the cost of the 996->997 fenders.

Some things I found interesting:
- Uses the stock 996 hood
- Blends in with the stock lower rocker panel so you can use existing skirts or leave as is.
- They say 996 gas door should work
- Citing some skepticism, they offered a money back guarantee on both fitment and quality.

If these are of quality, the 997 conversion expense could go down quite a bit since you no longer have to use the hood and/or get special sideskirts.

If you were to go all metal OEM, you would still need either the 997 style sideskirts or you would need to butcher the top half of the 997 fenders and graft them onto the lower 996 portion of the fenders. Then you still need to source the somewhat expensive aluminum 997 hood.

Anyone have used these?
