So I am using a Realforce 87U for a macbook, one thing I could not get over is that after switching the option and command keys, I dont have the proper key caps for them. One suggestion I got was to get the HHKB key caps to swap those two keys, but those two keys dont sell separately from a entire key set.
I am wondering anyone in the same situation?

I was in the exact same situation as you, and after a bit of posting here and I think on Reddit, I found someone willing to part with his printed HHKB modifiers. Worked out OK! I used Karabiner to remap that ugly Windows "menu" key to FN, which comes up occasionally in OS X.

Things can get expensive in the land of Topre.
In my case, I like to remap my keyboards to a HHKB/Mac layout. For my RF boards, I use black keys as modifiers; I don't need to see the legends to know what they are in my mapping. I replaced the ugly Windows bubble keys with option keys from a HHKB set. I use the Right Ctrl as my Fn key on the RF.
