Some things are just pricier than others. Take for instance a watch. You can buy a perfectly functioning watch for under $10.00 or you can buy a Rolex for 30k. What separates one from the other? Brand recognition, quality, finish.

These are the Rolex of caps. If you get a chance to see them in person you'll know exactly why I say that.

A Rolex is worn on the wrist where everyone can see it. Once you slam the hood on a GT who can see it? Not worth the money IMO. If you divide 7 into $450.00 that's $64.00 a piece. Not worth it.

The Rolex of caps? Rolex tells time and has diamonds and precious metals. Are these made of UNOBTANIUM or carry enough bling to bring Kobe Bryant's wife back? Hell, you MIGHT sucker me into paying that much if they had a digital readout of how much fluid is left in each.

Now that would be cool.

Here's the caps that I have: http://www.americanmuscle.com/chrome...-kit-0509.html

I love them. Chrome, have useful things on the tops and no complaints about the quality. Easy to install too.

I don't doubt the caps posted in this thread are great. Jared is not going to BS you. But I agree that with all of them saying GT on the top is a bit too much. If they had useful tops like the caps I post, they would be THE caps to buy.

a rolex is very expensive to make, less than $10. each in these caps.. but you do get a matching key chain!

Any pics of the caps installed in an engine bay? Reason I ask is that

" The Project 321 Engine Bay caps also utilize the stock style cap which is built into them. So all you need to do is take the old cap off and put the new Project 321 cap on and you're all set. Since they still utilize the stock caps they can be clocked counter clockwise to make sure all of the caps are facing just the way you want them to."

So are you saying the stock cap goes inside of these or there is a stock style cap built into them?
