Reservoir covers?

OK, cruising Ebay and I see that a seller has fake Ralliart reservoir covers (hint to sellers - don't show picture of package with "X-tune" logo). Get them or hold out for a real company?

And just to answer the inevitable questions...

They look good, plus they absorb leaks at the master brake, coolant or transmission reservoir tank, keeping the engine bay clean and oil-free. Blah blah blah. Just a basic dress-up item.

They actually look pretty decent, but I think the price may be kinda steep for fakes.

$10? Did I miss something? It's $16 plus $7 shipping...

$10 would be reasonable...

I bought them a couple months back - they look good. Sure, they are fakes but I had some money burning a hole in my pocket so I picked them up. I dont have leaks, but if I did, these would do a good job with any type of overflow.

I wish I had extra money burning in my pocket. And you are right, even though they are fake they still look good.

I just don't know if I want to pay that much. Genuine ones usually only cost $15 for a pair, so $16 or $18 for some fakes kinda bugs me.
