Nice find, Glen. But the haters will rag on you for such a cheapo mod....like my chrome strip wheel protectors.

If they were $10 each, you would be good!

Two questions:

What did the originals look like?

What part of the suspension is this and why does it look corroded?

Cool Glen....I'm sure everyone will enjoy a less expensive mod like this. Hell, I spent $25 on the Crossed Flag valve stem caps......

Beat me to it. I'm sure Glen has a wiz bang method for making that look like new with very little work.

The stock valve caps are a grey plastic cap. I swapped them for the black plastic caps that were on my Camaro. The grey caps match the polished wheels on the Camaro and the black caps go with the Black Z51 wheels.

Looks good with black wheels. Too bad GM didn't put black TPS nuts on the black wheels instead of the silver ones.

I bought a set at Walmart for 2.25. They're sold under the "Slime" brand. Anodized aluminum in various colors, including black.

It would be worth the extra $3.75 to buy the ones from Amazon so you don't have to set foot inside of WalMart.
