Default Which Black Do You Like ........

More and more customers are ordering the gloss black cap set (more below). Some order silver and some order red graphics. I love both but that red really pops. These go with any color

nakidparts.com is the home of the original custom painted parts, just ask and it can be done, we never never trade quality for price or quantity

You will never find stick on covers in my shop only real GM OEM parts get the best paint you can find.



You can also just order an oil cap for $60 (choice of color and graphics)



MORE ON THESE CAPS

These are the original custom painted engine caps (all one piece with the OEM caps). They are on the way to some customers Also some of my painted trim sets. These are the original custom ebrake and shifter caps (not stick ons). You can also see the wheel spokes which I do also but in limited qty. A6 cap is not pictured but can be done

They take you engine to a new level, my caps have won 1st place in show after show. Machined billet covers are either chromed, satin finished or painted to your requirements. Custom work / graphics are also available

On the chrome and satin the highly detailed graphics are etched into the metal in a satin frosted finish.

On the painted, your caps receive a base OEM finish, then super high quality vinyl graphics and then are covered with a finial clear coat just like your car (except no orange peel).

The OEM caps are then reengineered and permanently bonded for life, guaranteed

Comes in auto or 6spd with a matching dipstick. Any you receive a $50 refund upon return of your OEM caps.

PRICE CHECK : There is only one other set of chrome caps of this caliber and quality. The are $75 each and are slip overs ($500 6sp w/dipstick and they are just covers). So consider these a steal and they are one piece cover and OEM cap are one.

More at www.nakidparts.com

These are just out of paint and not bonded yet to the OEM caps

As has been true with everything I have ordered from Ed, his cap sets are top quality. I recently ordered the chrome set and they look even better than the pictures show. You will be amazed at how your engine bay comes alive with a set of Ed's caps!

I will be posting pics in a week or two when done with my engine bay.

I have the Black with Silver.

At first I must say I was hesitate about buying these since I figured, the OEM caps are black, these Pipedream Caps are black, will it even make a difference and am I just wasting money.

I could not be more wrong! They look Awesome and really provide that finishing "bling" touch under the hood!

Thanks Ed.

I also think its very cool that Ed gives you a $50 refund when you send all the OEM caps back.

I like the black with red graphics, but of course my car is VR. I also like my silver caps with red graphics too. Thanks Ed.
