No but I'm interested in others input about them since I'm thinking of going that way rather than painting mine.



You must have gotten the same ad today, I asked about the same items in (general) before I saw your thread.

We have done several sets. They are very high quality and look cool. The Corvette lettering is engraved. There is a 3 year warranty on these from MGP and they are GM license. Or spend about $5k for the real big brakes. lol. Have them in stock.

I'm not sure if I'm liking this...a bit too sport-compact for me.
