Those look like the same crap one's Corvette Central was selling. Not even close to GM or BMW quality. I can always tell the cheapos from the factory by the appearance. The cheap one's always have rubber all over the metal bushings. Buyer beware.

I agree with Lucky on this. Stick with the stock units. The cheapo one also do not have the direction arrows that the stocker do.
