New appearance mod, installed today

New billet oil cap. Nice quality piece. Now, the only question is do I use the decal or not?

The before


The after


The after with the included decal sitting in place


The overview, no decal

Thanks.

I had it plain for awhile and got bored with it. I wanted to do something different, so I went with the flames.

Re: New appearance mod, installed today

I built everything but the lid. It is all hand bent out of aluminum.

The engine cover is from a Holden in Australia. Some say that I will have a bad effect with heat, but there is no noticable difference in coolant temp or performance with it on or off. Heck, if they come from the factory with it on in Australia, do you really think GM saw it as a heat concern?

You can use the Holden cover, Lumina SS cover, or Caprice SS cover.

Where did you get the cap? Will it fit LT1s?
BTW I like it with the Z28 emblem on it.

Re: New appearance mod, installed today

Is the emblem a flat sticker or a plastic piece that sticks on? And, are those set screws around the outer edge?

Re: New appearance mod, installed today
