I found them too, but I'm not sure the quality is the same as Austin's were. They are much less expensive too... Still on the fence about them...

I saw them too, and they are close but not correct to the real design. They have two grooves on his head and the teeth are not right.

Looks like it is alright that we mention Ebay now here on the Forum. EbayMotors anyway as it looks like they have become a Forum Vendor. There logo and a link to their website was right at the bottom of the page before I clicked to post this reply.

Just go to ebaymotors.com and do a search and I am sure you can find the ones mentioned by the OP.

Be careful if you go to your dealer for service. They will confiscate the Jakes and void your warranty.

I have been in contact with the Ebay seller. I bought other item from and they are very nice. He told me that he is not very happy with the billet aluminum chicklets and is in the process of having them remade in stainless steel. He also doesn't like the pictures that has been posted and will post new ones.

We precision machine ours from Billet aluminum, hand mirror polish and quadruple chrome plate them to perfection. 3M adhesive backing is already on the back and the Speed Demon Skull is machined so it is raised up from the rest of the chicklet base. Very custom.

Our "Speed Demon" Punisher Race Skull is our own original design to be "safe". Dozens of sets have shipped for the holiday season and we have many more in stock.

You can call us or go to our web site to place orders at www.hitechcc.com or 1(800)773-1188. Free shipping on them to forum members. $49.00/set w/Free Shipping.

Thank you.
