Check your defrost button and make sure it works so you don't make the same mistake again lol

For real. If your windshield is fogged up to the point that you can't see well enough to hit a curb, you shouldn't be driving it.

Lol i don't see how that affects anything? Usually when your windows defrost it starts gradually and builds up.

The moment you notice it gradually fogging up you should hit the defrost button. Takes like 0.3 seconds

The rad cap cover looks like a VMS cover, you should be okay. The oil cap I dunno. Probably not NISMO but we won't tell.

its a machined aluminum cover, so quality shouldnt be too bad, but considering a real nismo oil filter cap is like $40, and this one is $10... lol, I dont know.... I had no idea I bought these till I woke up this morning... I blame Rochester, was staring under his hood yesterday... lol

I got the same rad cap, from the same eBay company in anodized blue. It fits nicely and securely.

And BTW, I had the same source of inspiration as you..

Roch is a menace on this site...

Finally, those Nismo caps a $100 + at the Nismo Shop.

Love my VMS rad cap. Hate the lame text that's screen printed on it. For a while, I had a circle of grey vinyl stuck to it, and that looked really clean. However, over time the heat killed the vinyl, so I've just learned to accept the lame text. Lamely.

Kind of funny to see NISMO on this one, but I suspect it will match your NISMO underwear.

Mine is gun-metal. It was literally one of the very first things I bought for the car.

I hate myself for this minor R.I.C.E. infraction, but meh... Some day the car will live up to it haha. This thing will make me go broke....

I bought my first one shortly after seeing yours too. Then had it painted purple to match the bay. Then bought another one and had it machined to cut the center out so the ARC rad cap shows through.

When the lights go out and the Crown is flowing I stay off the web. I have spent too much in the past. Hey at least we are not out in the bars saying the same thing about chasing women! (For all us married fellows)

Well, it wasnt alcohol per se, and I work for a fitness magazine, women end up chasing me lol
I choose which models and athletes are to be featured, and their placement, as well as do the editing of their photos. These girls really show their affection when they want something... People find me weird for not taking advantage.

I got my Carbon Signal CF diffuser yesterday and installed it last night.

I love how it looks, but one thing for sure, these exhaust tips gotta go now... I'll be shopping around for some round tips to complete the look.

I can't stop stairing at it.
