I happen to see these on e-bay and thought I would get your feed back..
I know it's only looks but if I start out with these the wife will never know when I switch over to the real deal:devil:

My personal opinion is that if it doesn't help performance then it isn't going on my car. A fake mod seems like a waste of money to me. If you want them then by all means get them. I just think if you save the money you would have spent on them you would be that much closer to a functional mod.

yea, I'll be painting mine.

If I knew for sure I could get a seal set for the calipers, I'd be more than happy to powder coat them. I haven't seen anything for sure though.

Although I'm going to be looking at the GXP upgrade when I get some cash together.

I am pretty sure the front caliper seal kit is part number 92193443 and the rear kit is 92193449, but I am not sure exactly what is included in the kits.
