IMO the problem with these modifications is that they invariably exceed the cost of buying stock parts, don't look very good in many cases and don't provide any short term gains in power or savings.

Yes Ferrari caps are expensive on the front end, but since they seem to last 50K miles or more, whick works out to 15-20 years, the cost then becomes very reasonable. Until the day comes when there simply are no more caps and every car is forced to undergo a Mod to be driven it's just not economically feasible for a Co. to manufacture a nice looking, quality replacement and have a large enough market to make it worthwhile..

But who knows maybe I'm wrong.
