Default A little engine bling

I normally don't get into engine bling. I keep the compartment clean and dressed but that's usually it. I saw this oil cap and I really liked it so I figured one little piece of bling would be ok. It's nicely made. All one piece billet aluminum, hard anodized in a light gunmetal color. Fit is tight and perfect. Has a rubber gasket/o-ring like the OEM so it seals well.

I got it form an ebay vendor for $26 including shipping.

Sorry for the poor pics. I used my PDA camera, not too steller.

You spend more time just staring at the thing, thinking how much better your engine bay looks now, than the time it took you to put it on
