Has anyone bought the Restoration Design headlight buckets?

I need some new ones for my 911. After finally digging into them tonight I've decided that the driver's side one at least is too far shot to put the time and effort into saving. The passenger's side one is better, but still has a little corrosion, so I don't have a problem changing it out either for 80 bucks. Since the OE part is "Temporarily Unavailable" here at Pelican, I checked Restoration Design's site and they have both. Has anyone used them?

BTW this problem stemmed from a stupid P.O. failing to replace the round rubber seals around the headlight bucket perimeter. CHECK YOURS!!! Water got in there and rusted the crap out of the bucket and the mounting bracket on the driver's side, passenger's side fared a little better. Fortunately I was able to save the mounting brackets (lots of wire wheel time & paint work) but the buckets need replacing.

Anyway, has anyone used these? Are they good quality?
