I have seen those, the PS resv cover just looks sooooo cheap compared to the one he made though. I dont like it at all. I figure as much as I have already spent under there if he will make me one and I can have it chromed it will fit the rest of the bay VERY well and will be worth spend a little extra on...since I havent cut corners anywhere else.

after looking around for covers, i realized there are many household things that will work perfect for this kinda stuff and save you money. for instance....one of my cologne bottles has a chrome cap, and it fits perfectly over the coolant overflow tank cap, CHECK! my girlfriend has a little container of makeup stuff or some kinda face cleaner, it has a chromed coated plastic lid that fit perfectly over my radiator cap, CHECK! i just ordered a powerteering cap cover and oil cap cover from summit for $20 shipped. ill hafta look around more tomorrow if i can find somethin to work for the master cylinder and if i can, ill have a complete set of cap covers for $20!

Every thing I made is from alum sheet (1/8" thick)

cobrahunter, are those the pieces that emblemrpos sell? wow, they look so much better on your car than they do on their website. on their website they look paper thin and cheap. i was considering buying some but they looked so cheap and flimsy on their page. if i wouldave saw these before, i wouldve definately went that route! looks good bro

The quality is A+++. Even the oil cap cover I asked them to make for me. Just gave them the dimensions I wanted and a picture of the stock cap, and I got my new cap in just a few days. These guys don't play around!

Here a couple other pics of their shock tower:
