Thumbs up Billet F-Body Caps... Finally! Need Opinions *PIC*

The time is nearing, a set of F-body billet cap covers should be available to purchase within a week We've finally got the equipment and tooling we needed to make this possible; check our web site later for shorty billet antennas and *****

I'd like to get some opinions of fellow LS1tech'ers for the final look. There will be multiple finishes on the billet caps avaliable. I added what I think would be the most popular options to the poll above, let me know if you would like a finish that's not listed and I'll update this thread.

PLEASE VOTE AT THE POLL ABOVE IF INTERESTED! The poll is multiple choice, so pick more than one if you want.

Here's a shot of a billet aluminum oil cap with a small chamfer to the top corner to give you an idea... Thank you! Specialized Stainless





Here's two pics of the Machine Finish and Polish Finish side by side:

No, all the current stainless steel covers will stay the same.

Thank you

I'd be interested in picking up a set as well. Once I finish the garage this fall, I plan on doing appearance stuff over the winter including painting the FAST intake, possibly doing stainless bolts under the hood, HOPEFULLY a new Trans/Am front splitter (HINT HINT).

Damnit Steve, you keep making products that I just have to buy, LOL.

I'd definetly be interested in a set of polished with clear powder coating to help in maintaing the look. My other polished pieces with a protective coating have taken a beating since my car is a daily driver.

Glad you're going to be making these. The teaser pic looks very nice. Any pricing information available?

I'm open to ideas!

I'm thinking the engine bay caps, oil dipstick, interior *****, shorty antenna (polished & anodized black)...

Thank you, Steve.
