Valve Stem Cap - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

BLU BY U · 12-13-2009, 11:32 AM

I noticed when I picked up my car, that the valve stem caps were blue from the factory. When we had our (meet&greet) the other week there was one other car there that had them. Guess what, it came from the same dealership. Some of the other camaro's at the dealership had them also when I picked it up. So I have a question? How many of these cars are out there with the blue caps? What does it mean if anything (I know someone will say it means they are blue) (LOL))? My friend said it might be nitrogen filled. Don't know.

N2 filled tires typically have green caps. As for blue...

, maybe to match your paint?

Not doubting you, but the color of the other car was IOM.

Could be a dealer thing, I said from the factory, but I was not there when it came off of the truck. I bought this car off of the lot. I did not order it.

Did you order your car, and if so were you there when it came off of the truck? Or anybody else that posted in here, and noticed the color of the caps?

yes, they are blue, a dealer thing, the black ones were in the glovebox. Look in there. The dealer kept having issues with people stealing them (black ones).

I guess whoever took mine off, put them in their pocket. I have been all over this car, and have not seen them. Not that I was looking for them, but checking things out.
