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!

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:
