Default chrome etched caps

i have all the design specialties chome etched caps except te windshield washer resevior cap. i have tried from pds (chuck) since carlisle and have been waitin for bill from creative to make them. my question is how come nobody else manufactures these? it seems that alot of the forum members would be interested in them and i know they are on the expensive side. however i think if someone made these at a reasonible price that person could make a fortune. i know you need tubular steel, welding machines, then they have to be plated and last they need to be lazer etched. i just wish i could get the one cap i need. if anyone could make me the one i need id be happy to pay very well for their services. i havent install my other caps because i dont have a complete set. thanx brad

I lucked out and got the etched caps right at the very end of DS. I payed $85 each plus shipping. Who knows when PDS will have any.

I can not believe it eather that no one has produced these since DS.

Side note: IF ANYONE WANTS TO SELL THEIRS, LESS WINDSHIELD WASHING CAP I'LL BUT THEM!

I would love to buy a set if anyone was selling. I also missed the timeline with the DS products. Someone should manufacture these!

I hear that DS is going back in business, I don't have any details but did hear that they are working on a website. Sure hope this is true.
