I'm a fan, but $75 for an oil cap? Seriously?

Very nice piece. But you are trying to sell that item to the notorious cheap bastards club. (as noted above).

Default very nice
Very nice, but now the rest of the engine bay needs to be spiffed up to match.

My oil cap gets stuck a lot. I mean. I REALLY have to crank on it to get it to come off sometimes. That one doesn't have a grip for me to do that. Will the billet version not stick?

and I'm in the camp that loves the look, but would not buy a product (even though I know it's the manufacturing company/distributor) that says 928 anywhere on it for my 951.

Now that just make the oil dipstick handle stand out.... You wouldn't have a plan to manufacture billet oil dipstick handle as well?

I wonder if the vibrations might cause the oil filler to crack. I can only assume it weighs more than the stock plastic one.

I like the idea of taking an old piston and making it work as an oil filler cap
