There's a reason why I didn't want MBA. They're price is too steep for me.

I know there's gotta be a place out there somewhere. Toozfat, do you have an approximate time you will be able to offer these caps?

When I bought my MBA caps/covers, I bought the cheapest they had as in just a satin finish, no highly polished stuff or anodized stuff since I knew there were going to be chromed regardless. My biggest issue was having everything that matched and MBA is the only ones that makes all the caps and covers...

You can try this place as they have some covers, but not everything your looking for...

Well knowing you, I'm sure they'll be less. BUT, could you give me a guesstimate on when you will be offering these?

Travis,

I don't know if I'm missing something or not, but all I could find thru PFYC was an oil cap and oil breather. I already have this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't MBA just go out of business? I wanna say that I read on ws6store that they are no longer making any products and some of their stuff is limited.

I really didn't want to go have a set of covers chromed because in the long run this may just cost as much as buying them already chromed or polished, but I will look into it.

If you look under the C5 Corvette section Under Hood Appearance you will see more caps and stuff, I'm just not sure if they fit fbodies. MBA did go out of business quite some time ago, however, there are several places that still sell their inventory such as ws6store and okperformance and the like. I know that everything MBA used to sell is still for available for sale.
