A buddy of mine in Taiwan had a few friends get these and they were pissed that the set screws damaged the factory paddles. The set screws are really small diameter and in order to apply sufficient force to retain the aluminum extensions, the pressure is more than the factory plastic can sustain without permanent deformation. In addition, since the OEM plastic isn't exactly the stiffest material in the world, the set screws will eventually rip through it.

While these look kinda cool, I'm not a big fan of touching scalding hot metal in the middle of summer. I generally keep my fingers on the paddles while I'm driving and this would be rather painful when the interior is at 150+ degrees after sitting in the sun all day.
