Engine Caps Question....
Has anyone purchased or found engine cap covers or full replacements that come in black or carbon flash and body color? I've seen several, but they all have chrome or silver finish on them and I want mine in black/carbon flash and laguna blue. Thanks for any input.

I painted mine white. I lettered the windshield washer cap red and painted the oil dipstick red. Not hard at all. No pics yet.

Mine is an A8 so I wouldn't need that, but I guess I need to look into my engine bay and find out where the Power Steering Cap is lol. I'm not seeing it either.
