Never seen these before (tried to search here also) - This came with a graphite I bought while ago and it looks too nice to be home made. It seems like stamped or cut and not machined or drilled. Has anyone seen like before?

Is it steel or aluminum? I had 50 sets made (front and rear) a couple of years ago out of fairly thick aluminum. The one in your picture looks a lot like the ones I had made. There was a company in Dallas and I had these water jet cut. I sold them on Ebay for $25 a set. If you look at my gallery pictures there are several cars pictured that have the ones I had made on them. Regards and I hope this helps.

Good call! But I am pretty sure it's stainless steel. Material is quite thin and feels more like steel.

I measured the thickness and it's only 0.8mm. Material is also ferromagnetic, so something iron based. Probably it's someone's one-off custom part - quite decent looking though. Not sure if I am going to use it either...
