Potentially viable solution for backsplash with plugmolds and no visible GFCI outlets

[cdub]

I am doing a kitchen remodel and I don't want outlets in the backsplash.

I have purchased (2) 20A plugmolds for each side of the counter to attach 19? up from the countertop surface for a hidden appearance.

I do not want to add 2 GFCI breakers because:

- They would be located in my outside breaker panel
- They would take up twice as much room in my panel (I currently use GE half size breakers)
- They are expensive

My question is: Is there a strict requirement on where deadface GFCI units can be located?

I would really like to have these 2 GFCI devices located under just behind the doors of the kitchen sink cabinet.

- Since they are deadface, nothing under the sink (disposal, dishwasher, etc) could be plugged into them
- They would be easily accessible for reset.
- A small placard could be added to the plugmolds stating ?GFCI reset under sink?
- It would look SO much better!

NEC code, which is from what I understand, adopted AND amended by city of Dallas which is my local code.

I am wondering what concerns some might have with this? Thanks for your professional opinion on this!

P.S. The backsplash is glass.
