The holes don't line up very well and I've had to spend time filing the holes larger and filing resin off the back of the parts to make them fit ok.
Once I do some more work on them, they'll look pretty good (much better than the normal black plastic). It's just a pain that I have to put that much work into making them fit.
But they're not lighter than standard parts, they've been made like fibre glass parts, not true prepreg carbon. As I said the holes don't line up which is a pain in the arse and some of the holes weren't the right size.
So I wouldn't recommend these parts to other people. If I'd paid full price of over $300 for them I'd be pretty pissed off. So glad I only paid about $100 for them.

Couldn't help myself at less than half price, I've bought a set!Will see how they go.
Yeah my apologies for recommending this, I got a little too excited for the price, (you surely do get what you pay for), I'm pretty disappointed too, I had to buy a rotary/dremel tool kit to be able to fit them and even after modification the left side has got a largish gap where the 2 are supposed to meet.... I complained to the ebay seller and he gave me a partial refund of $40, like you said, if I'd paid full price for these and they had the same fitting issues I'd be quite pissed off!
