you're not seeing things. From what I have read there were a few(?) companys that made them but the name sticking in my mind right now is the HG VLT shockbodies. Can't find the thread with the clear bodies right now but I'm sure someone will sooner or later...

damn right. if you want your car to be an absolute mess shortly after filling the shocks with oil, these are definately the pieces of sh-- to use.

Have you installed cross drilled brake lines to match those cool rotors? Provides for extra cooling of the brake fluid.
