Here's another tip - when buying on e-bay, BE SURE TO LOOK AT THE SHIPPING COST. It's common to see really low prices on items that are otherwise pretty pricey. You think you're being slick as you get all excited and bid, Then you see the shippng cost. I've seen $100 S&H for $20, lightweight items. It's a scam.

I have these if you're interested. They're brand new, never been installed. They don't have the rubber plugs. Sent you a PM.

A number of manufacturers have put pressure on unauthorized sellers that are using their copyrights/trademarks and threatened them with lawsuits. This is probably what happened with those good quality but aftermarket pedals.

It's also gotten so that "gray market" authentic products are being pushed away Ebay. These are official items but weren't offered from the official USA importer. Sometimes there could be a significant price difference in the same good from one country to another, and the dealer from the other country would make some extra money selling to us. Too bad that the manufacturers can get away from this. It takes away the competitiveness in the marketplace.

They are back!!!

Just found them on Ebay again, 50 pairs staring at $69.95. That is alot better than the $99.00 I paid, but these don't have the Porsche logo like mine do. Now $29.95 for shipping, which is a little crazy, but this is where alot of sellers make some money.

I purchased the ones with the logo and rubber nibs along with a set from Cargraphic. Still haven't decided on which set to install.
