Black engine bay caps and lids?
 

I'm looking for replacement OEM caps to get rid of the yellow ones scattered around the engine bay.
I don't want to paint/plastidip.

There was a post on here somewhere that used black Nissan OEM replacements but I can't find it anywhere.

The oil cap is an easy fix. The dipstick might be impossible unless going aftermarket. Mainly looking for the brake reservoir cap, coolant overflow cap and windscreen washer bottle cap.

Something like this:

Sorry, I can't help you, but, I was wondering, why you don't want to just paint them .. ??

I see what you're saying but I'd rather just spend the $3 or $4 each and buy them rather than have rattle canned bits and pieces.

Some "original" caps may cost much more then $3-4. After all, something like TRD cap will give more power too, just like stickers :), and some OEM may have dealership markup, even if it's for simple plastic bits. So really, if color bothers you, painting imho is by far simplest/cheapest. Personally i wouldn't care about something i rarely see and if anything, i like functional bit of yellow caps, when one sees right away as to where some fluids may need fill up, no matter how dusted everything under bonnet is. Same thing as with marking wires with different color in connector, or different color fuses in fusebox. Simplifies/quickens the job to differentiate with quick glance.

I would like to know where you can find black wiper fluid cap. XD


I change out the yellow ones to STI ones..but obviouly no one makes one for wiper fluid. XD

IAG had aluminum caps but stopped production

Ive painted mine (every yellow part under hood including dip stick), and IMO, they look great. It is all about prep. Clean the parts. use adheasion promoter, primer, several coats of paint then clear.


Or, clean and spray black auto fabric dye on them. It will "soak" into the plastic and not ever flake off.

Or spend money on black parts, when one 8$ can will do what you want.

Good luck.

Leonardo, I think you should do a write up. :party0030:
