    Now, I have the billet aluminum oil cap, and I was wondering if anyone makes a the same deal for the brake fluid reservoir, and anything else in the engine compartment using a cap. Also, I swear I saw a user on here who had what looked like an aluminum fuse box cover. Was this something they made themselves, or would I be better off to paint the cover?

    Over 140 people looked at this query, and no one knows if they exist? This make Kilroy sad.

    Not seen them for sale before, you could try mixing and matching with other vehicles (fitment) and then check to see if they're available for those cars or just try and make your own. : )

    Probably why as the 141st viewer I've told you what you already know.

    Good luck!

    A guy named Chad Drexel (No need to get into him directly) used to sell them a LONG time ago. He had the caps and even a plate that went on the fuse box and battery.

    I haven't seen anything for the GP in a while. Like coolone said, try to mix and match from other cars

    I remember seeing them on a car or two, just figured they were custom...

    You guys could probably have em made, but the cost/benefit... Well... I don't see it and I like shiny stuff under the hood, lol.

    I was able to find these. Not too fancy and not that expensive.

    This might be the image I remember. Now, your caps don't look like the ones in the link you posted. Also, did you just paint your fuse box cover, or is it an aftermarket piece as well?

    The ones in the link are not the ones I have. I bought mine from Drexel. I just posted that link in case anyone wanted to try them.

    That is a plate that is on the fuse box cover. It was originally black, I painted it silver. This also Drexel made.
