Default Blingcipitation

Is a word I made up which means anticipation of bling installation!

Car is in the shop for clutch issues for longer than expected. Meanwhile some new bling arrived. 6 piece chrome cap set. Stainless upper radiator hose/clamps and clear/black front corner markers.

The anticipation is killin' me!

Nice group of appearance mods you have there. I just received the black chrome cap set, don't know why I thought they were twist/snap on like the originals, still I'll be putting them on this week.

I thought the same thing. Since my car isn't here, I haven't had a chance to test fit them or figure out how to get them on. Do they go on top of the stock caps?

Correct, on top of the stock caps. A quick glance at the instructions said something about "pressure" tape and application to original caps, after that I didn't even look at the caps, had to go to work so I'll deal with it during the week.

Caps were from me and instruction page was in the clamshell package. You will need to put small amount of velcro (supplied) on the brake and clutch fluid caps and the others should fit fine without any. The washer cap is a replacement cap and you may need to use the o-ring for better fitment; some do not need it. To tell the difference from brake and clutch(#6)..the brake cap is the heavier one.

Must be nice to be young, 5/10 years old, huh?....I've already educated my “first” mods , (3 to be exact), than politely kicked them out the house.

You're right. The instructions were there. They were upside down and I mistook them for packing material.

By the way, those are great looking caps for a great price. Thanks!

My only mod is 23 and a LEO living on her own. I had better be nice to her.
