Default Engine dress up??

I want to dress up my engine bay a little, mainly start off with caps (power steering, radiator ETC.)

I know Thunder racing has all I need at the moment, but they are limited to qaunity since MBA closed there doors.
It will take me a while to get the funds together to purchase these, My worry is once I have the money, Thunder will no longer have what I wanted.
So, Is there another place i can go and get the same quality parts?

I working on finding a fab shop that has the caps at an affordable price to offer you guys.

I want to have prices lower than MBA. I think they were overpriced by a fair margin. When I have something I'll let you know. (billit/formed caps) ~Joshua

Eventually I'd like to get into everything. I plan to add items as found or as fast as I can without risking my personal finances. ~Joshua
