They look sweet!!! Can't wait to get my set. Tell me, do these just snap on over top of the existing ones or are they separate? Are there any tricks to fitting them over if that's what needs to be done?  Critter

The w/w fluid cap is a direct replacement. The rest go over the existing caps. Some may need a nudge withh a rubber mallet, others pushed right in. The brake fluid cap has a set screw you need a allen key for.
Very easy to do!  :buff:

Suggestion, line up the new cap over the old cap before removing it. If you just take the old cap off and mount the new one.....who knows which way the lettering or emblem will be facing! (just me being anal!)  :rofl:

Appreciate the tip SC.  I remember a time when I bought new tires and wheels and asked the tire guy to make sure letters on tire would line up with the valve stems the same all the way around, thought I was crazy but a tip helped convinced him to do it.

Now that is anal.  You do know that tires are marked with an alignment dot from the manufacture?

That and if during balancing the machine detects enough out of balance it will tell the tech to reorient the tire on the wheel to reduce the amount of weights needed.

The only MRZ Billet Cover that is difficult is the Gas Tank one!  Very tight indeed!  In fact it is coming along to the North Carolina NASSM with Carol and I.  I have grown fond of it setting on our computer desk cause I love to look at the Pontiac symbol emblazened on it!  Reminds me of the good old days!!!  Will bring it along to North Carolina as a good luck charm to ward off any dangers as we travel to the NASSM.  See ya all down the road, drive safe!

Got my billet fluid caps on today.....they look great. Saw Sun Chaser's in blue....they look awesome. I also got the blank anodized trunk close out plugs. They look way better on my "Mean" Sol than the billet ones as I have a lot of black accents. Therefore I have a set of billet ones with GXP logo for sale. If you are going to Asheville I would bring them with me and for $30.00 they are yours.  PM me if you want them.

The trunk plugs are now sold!

It has been over a month since I ordered, and still no movement on the tracking number or contact from MRZ.  PayPal gives 45 days to act, so they are running out of time.

I sent Roy and email and got the following reply - all remaining parts are back from anodizing, all the engraving was done yesterday, they are shipping all remaining orders today. Depending upon shipping method selected, receipt will be within 5-15 days.

Don't shoot the messenger. This is from him. If I get anything else I will pass along...Critter

I didn't get mine either, but I'm really hoping they didn't ship to my old address. EEEEK!!!  Checking the shipping info now. :(

Houston...I have a problem.  I just realized my PayPal shipping address hasn't updated (I swear I did this, but maybe not), and my PayPal Shipping address is for my old address in IL.

I put my order through with the correct Ohio address as the shipping address.  Crap...this probably went to IL. :( :( :(

Yeah  :yay:, mine came today, red anodized, very nice, should look nice installed on our red coupe.
Polished buttress covers larger than I thought and should cover up the verts OEM chrome tabs completely.
