Has anyone ever tried one of these radiator cap covers in the bay of the G37? Look at this picture here... it doesn't replace the OEM cap, it's a cover, with a little allenhead retainer screw on the side.

There's a guy in Canada selling bling for the Nissan Z-cars. His company goes by the name "Zee-Toyz", and he's designed a dipstick cover that's pretty interesting looking.

If you ask for it, you can get the cover without the "Z", nice and clean. It's construction is a solid, light aluminum, no plastic at all. The fitment is spot-on perfect.

It looks great on the G37.

Here's a simple one: Stainless Steel t-bolt clamps on the upper radiator hose. I did that with my Maxima (recently sold), and it was a very clean look. Much better than those fugly OEM crimp-clamps. Here's an old pic:

I like the red brackets on the FSTB. Nice touch, particularly with the red-on-black Stillen decals.

Found these on Amazon last night, and ordered one in Gunmetal Gray.

They come in a variety of colors... search Amazon for VMS Radiator Cap.

I sure hope so! I haven't even had time to clean the outside of the car because of the weather here lately.

I bought that VMS radiator cap, and applied it to the car this evening. The wording on the cap is admittedly pretty dumb, but overall I think the cap is beautiful. Here are some pictures.
