1. Do you have your oil, radiator cap covers, etc. on always?

2. Will they stay put while driving without an adhesive?

3. Does your radiator cover get HOT as heck?

4. Does the Plenum Intake Cover alow enough room for a Strut Tower Brace?


Thanks guys and gals!

 

I've got the Steeda radiator cover. No heat issues.

 

I have all Steeda billet dress up parts, radiator cap, power steering cap are not secured, oil cap is doubled sided taped, radiator cover is secured with silicone it gets warm but not blazing. No problems yet with anything falling off only been about 200 miles so far. No brace, I wasn't sure it would clear that intake cover I want.

 

Hey thanks Bruce. Now can you open the caps with the covers or does I feel like the tape will give.

See this is the first time I've tried to dress up an engine compartment. I don't know if these are made to permanently install or to put on when you show.

I was thinking of double sided tape but I thought that it would give and that I would be able to open the caps.

 

Do you happen to have pics of your dash Bruce?

I do, they are on my lap top at home. I am still learning how to post pictures I have a hard time reducing the size. The gauge pod came out nice. The radiator and power steering caps just lift off and you unscrew the real ones, the oil cap I had to gring the plastic a little it fits very tight and with the tape no problems at all.

 

So you just put the radiator and power steering cap over the exsisting caps without an adhesive and they stay put?? I was worried about that and I've just kept mine to the side and put them on when I wanted to show them off. This sounds like good news.

 

It's only been about 200 miles but problems at all. They fit pretty snug.

 

I have UPRs oil cap cover (with '4.6' on it) and the radiator cap cover. No adhesives or tape. The fit so snug you have to use a decent amount of pressure to work them on there - they are not going ANYWHERE. The strut tower kits fits nice and snug too. I am REALLY happy with the UPR stuff - waiting for their fuse box cover and radiator cover to be released....

 

THanks to everyone that posted here. I was really worried that the cap covers would lift off as I was driving.

 

Well does anyone out there have the engine cover and a brace installed. I am also wondering what or if an engine cover can fit under the brace.

 

I have the black Steeda non adjustable brace on mine and the cover - it is a TIGHT fit and the brace rest up against the top of the cover - if I were to remove the brace, there look to be four 'marks' in the top of ther cover but only visible with the strut brace off - and i plan on leaving it on so...

No problems and I think they look great together... I will get some pics up sooner or later.... finishing up a few other things and planning to show off all the latest mods in one thread..
