I found mine on ebay for about $30 plus ship. Beats the hell outta $80 or more from S&P. Theirs are chrome but who cares? you cant even see the damn things.
Excuse me. I just looked in S&P's catalog and they're $90 for natural finish $140 for chrome! :flipoff: that

The catalog doesn't specify exactly, it just gives option for natural,polished, and chrome. Sounds like alum. to me. Still it's aluminum, not gold! he heI would have sworn that S&P made theirs out of aluminum.
