Oil Caps?

Well i would just like everyones input on aftermarket oil caps. I notice that almost all of them, say covers, and stick on with 3m tape etc. Seems pretty tacky to 3m a cover to cap. If you have a real aftermarket oil cap would you post up a pic and where and how much got it for. I am not interested in the stick on covers. Thanks

I have the MGW Oil Cap and Coolant Cap.

They are chrome and very good quality. They look dark in the picture because of the reflected light from the hood liner.

I have the MGW caps as well. Great quality. BTW, George Ciamillo at MGW told me that they also make the caps for Ford Racing.

Well they all look awesome, going to be a tough decision. Thanks for posting. I did not know ford racing had one that wasnt a cover. I new about the mgw, but hadnt really looked into them yet. Both look awesome. I wonder if there are a few more, or if this is it? Time can only tell, LOL

I have the Roush one which is a cover but does not require 3m tape..I know you are not looking for a cover but just in case...BTW, When I get my oil changed,I take off the cover so they see the proper type oil to use

You should have seen mine. I think I purchased all of the caps from MMR and the oil cap pressed on and not held on with tape.

Well the people that had the push on ones, how do they stay if they are only push on. When you try to spin it etc? Just wondering how sturdy those covers are. Although the MGW ones look like there winning hands down so far. Looks like very nice quality stuff. thanks for everyones posts and pics.
