Would anyone else be interested in this? I'm assuming most people would prefer a polished finish. Another option that I am looking at is having a wiper fluid symbol engraved on the cap. Polished caps with no engraving will be offered regardless. If there are only a couple people who would want blue caps, I can do a special order for you
Also, I'd like to apologize for the delay in pictures. It's taking much longer than I initially anticipated, but it is getting very close now. Hopefully within 2 weeks, you will see these for sale in the marketplace
I will post up some renderings tomorrow hopefully, I just have to touch them up a bit first.

Here is a rendering of the basic cap. There may be some changes to it, but this is most likely very close to what the final design will be. It will be knurled on the flat outer face of the cap.

Almost there guys. I've been looking into different ways to bring the price down. I'm working with a different machine shop now and I should have a final prototype tomorrow. I have also been polishing an earlier prototype and just finished part of it. Originally I was planning on outsourcing the polishing. It would be done by a very reputable company who are excellent at what they do. If I were to polish it, the price would be roughly $25-30 lower. I cannot guarantee that I will be able to polish it to the same quality as them, but it will be close. Here is a pic of the polished part. Only the left half is polished. It was done rather quickly so production quality would be better. I will be showing it to a sedan tester this week and will get his opinion on it. I'll also get better pictures of my polished finished on the final prototype

So it took quite some time but here are some installed pics. Keep in mind that this is a prototype and some changes will be made. There is no bracket in the pics but the bracket will be hidden below the radiator shroud. It is also unpolished. I may have the cap sit lower than it is in the pics, what do you guys want?

I should have a final price for you guys on Monday after I talk to my Machinist. I'm aiming for $100-110 shipped within the US or Canada. I also lowered the height so the cap sits lower now. I'll get some pics up later today

Sorry I didn't get the pics up yesterday. It rained all day and I wanted to pull my car out to get some better lit pictures. Here is current version of the prototype, only difference is that the cap sits lower. Machinist will be getting back to me tomorrow so I should have a price figured out for you guys by Wednesday at the latest

Sorry it's been so long for an update. The final prototype should be in by the end of week. I'm 99% sure there won't be any further changes. As for price, I am still working on one. However, the first run will be offered at an introductory price

Ok guys, I have a 99% sure price now. Intro price for the 1st run will be $110 shipped. After the 1st run, the price will be $130-135 shipped. I will be able to confirm these prices very soon, hopefully by the end of Friday
Also, US customers will have the choice of having it shipped from within Canada or the US. I'm not sure if you guys get taxed when having parts shipped into the country, but we sure do in Canada. Choice will have no affect on price.
Also, I will not be accepting orders until I am a vendor. Please do not PM me asking for a PP address or anything like that. Mods, if there is a problem with me posting the price, let me know and I will take it down
