Billet Gas Cap Interest
« on: March 03, 2009, 05:12:16 PM »
We do not currently offer polishing service beside the parts we make. The anodizing is pretty tricky on parts like this since the alloy used in cast parts is usually a "pita" to anodize and get a good result. The anodizing gets great results on billet parts but cast parts is another game. My guess is that powdercoating would be the best way to go...

Bummer, well, it was worth a shot. Looking forward to getting the caps. Thanks!!!

"Premium Fuel Only"

Pontiac Logo?

Saturn Sky Logo?

I know Go-N Def will want his Medical Field Corpsman logo.

Will it be flat on top like the oil cap?

It's OK.  Drill it BEFORE you put it on the car.  Hell won't freeze over....
