I am looking for body match parts covers and caps. What websites did you use and can you please post pics of under your hood? I am having trouble choosing if I should use satin finish or black radiator, break cylinder, washer bottle caps etc etc. I am using body match fuse box cover and brake reservoir.

As another option, I am planning on having replacement OEM fluid caps painted Victory Red by Lupe (overhaulengines). The list includes oil fill cap, radiator cap, radiator reservoir cap, washer fluid cap, power steering cap, and brake reservoir cap. He has already painted my fuse box cover, my engine cover, and my strut tower brace, and he is working on some other items for me for under the hood. His work is top quality and he is great to deal with, and his prices are pretty good too. I also have a painted brake reservoir cover from RPI that is really nice too. It all depends on how much you want to spend and what you want it to look like.

I would consider that. I could take my existing caps off and send them out Does he have a website. Do you have a picture of under your hood?

Yes, you could take all of your caps off and send them to Lupe. He is in the San Antonio, TX area. I am actually planning to order new caps and send them to Lupe for paint. I prefer to be able to put my car back to factory original, so I always buy replacement parts and have them modified. I priced the new caps today through forum vendor Gene Culley's website www.gmpartshouse.com and the entire set of caps was less than $55 not including shipping.

Lupe's website is www.camarocustoms.com. You can also PM him on here under username overhaulengines, or check out any of his sale threads in the Marketplace section. He will paint just about anything and it looks great.

Here is the best picture I have for now. This does not include some of my new items that I have gotten since the winter started. You can also click on my signature to check out my build thread which has a ton of pics.

I hope this helps.

Ok, here is my plan. I am buying these exact items at showstoppers with the radiator shroud. I will them have this guy do some ghost flames on the rjt parts of the boxes. I will also have this picture of my dog airbrushed on the gloss black shroud. What do you think?

Sounds awesome! You must really love your dog. I wouldn't even air brush my own kids on my car.
