I think it looks better than the full cover.

^^^ I agree. I am going to get it painted to my factory color paint since I don't have the carbon fiber theme going on anywhere on my G. I'm getting all my paint done for free too!!!!

What's a good raditor cap that you suggest?

I simply polished my stock radiator cap. It's stainless steel and polishes up real shiny.

I thought about them. Do they really increase the performance of the car? They make sense and seem like they really do. I just don't know much about them or which kind to get or anything

I was skeptical at first too, but the difference is really night and day the first time you are rolling with them, it's very noticeable...not like strut bar where I really can't feel ****...which in my opinion it's more of a cosmetic mod to many who have it...

I got Hotchkis sways for around $300 for front and rears. Some other brands are Stillen, Nismo, etc...good luck!

One of the biggest bang for the buck is the swaybar upgrade. Just do it!

+1 on the sway bar/strut bar. Richie strut bar is affordable!

+1 on the radiator cap. Im going with a gold theme in my engine bay. CF battery covers, CF engine cover and CF z tube. Followed by painted gold strut bar, engine cover emblem and rad cap.

Unless you are going for a full theme in the engine bay - e.g. ARC caps, oil catch can, shroud, intake etc... dont waste your money on caps.

Hmm I think some sway bars will be added to the list lol. I was going to go with the Richie Strut Bar since it's good and afforadable. I also did some research on the sways and seems like the Hotchkis had a problem with creeking/squeeking. I read that stillens had a great review. Think I should go with the stillen sways and the stillen strut bar to keep with the stillen theme? I also got a stillen intake as well.

The old Hotchkis sway bars made noise on occasion, but I've had mine over a year and they have been noise free. Most of the aftermarket sway bars are about the same.
