New appearance mod, installed today.

New billet oil cap. Nice quality piece. Now, the only question is do I use the decal or not?

I think it looks a lot better with the Z28 decal than without it. Engine bay looks pretty good and very unique.

I kinda like it without the decal, but both look good in my opinion. Does anyone make caps that match these for the coolant, washer fluid, and master cylinder?

I would be very interested to know if there are matching caps made also. I did have to comment on the lid. It's VERY unique. I'm not sure that I like it or not. I'd probably lean towards do because it definitely piqued my interest. Overall.....

I'd want all the heat to get away from the engine. Hell one of the first "mods" in Ausralia is to ditch the turtle shell. That's probably why he sold it to you.

I like the billet cap though. I'd polish it of course if I had a cap instead of my breather. Overall you've got a flowing theme. Nice.
