can't view the ebay link at work but if their from china/hong kong then i have them , very good match replacement pieces not stick on covers they have some sort of coating on that even feels cold to the touch and a good brushed effect , I'll get photos tonight when i'm home , delivery was good as well

I've got them too, going to give mine a coat of clear laquer to make them match the one on the lower part of the steering wheel. Fit perfect and take seconds to fit.

How do they fit then?

no laquer on mine and a good match i think , they just replace the plastic ones which pull out . pull from the top and theres two pins with a round thicker end that push into holes in the steering wheel
