Anyone tried these aftermarket 4.8is flares?

Hey Everyone,

At the shop, we got in a 3.0i e53 with the oem aluminum running boards, and I got the ok to swap them with my stock sidesills on my 4.8is. I was doing a lot of reading and it looks like I can't just swap the rear flares over, as that would leave holes in the rear fender piece that would go over to the 3.0i.

Looking online, I saw this set for sale, looks like a replica of the front/rear flares. Has anyone tried this or other aftermarket replicas of the flares? If not I'll probably take one for the team and try them out!

Thanks!

i took the bait and clicked on the link.
Fiberglass unpainted......fit aside. The texture will not match OE trim, if that matters or not..
