Specialized Stainless caps installed
I bought a set of billet caps from Steve at Specialized Stainless. I ordered late Friday and received them Monday at noon! Can't get much better than that. They are quaility pieces and look great. I went with the brushed finish. Should be easier to keep clean than the show polished version. The only problem I had was the brake reservoir cap was a hair to small to fit over the stock cap. I will fix that tomorrow by shaving a little plastic off of the stock cap. I also added the brake reservoir cover, the small piece that fits on the front of the intake and the hexagon piece for the AC dryer. The pictures were taken in the garage so they are not the greatest. I will try to get some better ones tomorrow in the sunlight.

Steve,
Use any of the pictures you want. I will try to get some better ones outside. The brake fluid cap is just small enough that the stock cap won't fit inside the billet piece. I'm just going to "shave" a little of the stock cap. That should work just fine. I will keep them on there all the time so I will use the black RTV you mentioned. Thanks again for a great product!

Those are completely different than the ones we make. Theirs are a flat pieces of stainless steel sheet that only cover the top of the caps and not the sides. These are solid billet covers that hide the entire cap. Also if you notice, most of the stock plastic caps have a raised center section. So if you just place a flat sheet of stainless on there, you are going to have gaps or see the sides.

Steve the design looks great...you should also do a clutch master cylinder cap for us M6 guys. I found one the would fit but it was a PIA (its actually for a C4 Vette the best I can remember!) That extra cap really finishes off the set IMO. (If you already offer it thats cool...I just didnt notice it and I know its always been overlooked.)

Looks really good man!
I'll be getting the polished version for the ps & brake resevoir soon. Probably gonna wait til I can afford the fuse box covers & pcm cover so I can get it all @ once and save on shipping.
