Yeah those look great, I got mine from the same guy on cuda-challenger.com ,Honestly they look pretty decent. I don't know what the others look like to make a judgement. I would love to see the difference in a side by side comparison.

I picked up a couple grips from the Cuda-Challenger seller. Scott's description is pretty accurate especially on the finish. The ones from CC are not exact copies in shape and size of the original pistol grip handles. The pictures below are the CC handles next to original plastic pistol grip handles. The are a bit wider and have more material where your thumb and the palm of your hand goes. They fit the shifter handle very well and are tight. Even though they aren't exact copies, I honestly think the handles sold off CC feel BETTER. The palm of my hand feels more comfortable resting on the wider CC handles especially in 1st and 3rd gear. It also feels more secure in my hand. If you gotta have a perfect copy of an original pistol grip the CC ones are NOT for you, but it your looking for comfort and cool color options the CC handles are nice for the price. ps. The grips pictured are light Spalted Maple. I actually bought 2 pair to try, a light and dark set. I ended up using the other(darker) set on my Challenger.

I bought a set for my Super Bee. Second car down from top: http://www.idlehandswoodwork.com/pictures.htmlThe pictures don't do them justice. I wanted something custom, but not over the top. The grips came out incredible, exceeded my expectations. Nick is great to work with, communicates well and does awesome work.

John, No they are held together with rare earth magnets. On Nick's website the E5 grips are mine, and I have had absolutely no problems with the grip halves moving in any way. To remove them you can slide a credit card between the grip and shift lever and they come right off.
