From what I gather they are hard to come by. There's a set on ebay right now that is 2 seperate auctions. 1 for the quad tips set and elbows and one for the valence. For the tips he wants 350 and the valence i think 750.......kinda steep but every other one I've seen is about the same price.

Up to this point in time, yes, they look bad, and the original pieces from SLP are no longer made, hence why you will have a hard time finding any at all. And when you do, the prices will be outrageous. Just gotta keep looking around on Ebay...
