new rotor caps in my engine bay--must see!

Just got some new rotor shaped caps for my engine bay. It was time to do away with the ugly plastic ones. I got them from www.rotarystuff.com. He is a forum member here, screen name RX8MAN04. He is a good guy, and I got to meet him personally, since he is local for me. He has a nice solar yellow 8, so he is a fellow enthusiast. Enjoy!

Caps for the AC lines, H and L

Highly recommended!!

the brake fluid cap and radiator cap fit right over the stock, so no leaking
the washer fluid one replaces the stock one, but it is a good tight fit, not worried about it...
the oil cap looks to be just as good or better than the stock one...no issues

Wear gloves if those things heat up and you need to take them off!

I replaced the brake fluid caps and radiator caps with mine, and have no leakage. I can't remember if I got mine from the same vendor though. Its been a while.

I'm interested in the AC line caps as well.

Get a rag or some gloves for that oil cap, after the car heats up that thing is scalding. I have mazdaspeed oil cap and it ******' melted my fingers. (well not literally, but did blister.)

They weren't on the site, you will have to email him about it. He can do any custom pieces you want.

He mentioned something to me about someone being unhappy and he tried to make it right and they still were not happy and he ended up losing money. I don't know the whole story, but the pieces I got were great quality IMO. I am picky on what I put on my car as well and waited awhile before I found a set I really liked. I am really happy with them and they were a decent price.
