Tire valve caps.
 

So.. I bought some TRD valve caps off ebay for I think 5.99 for my FR-S. They look nice, all aluminum and who cares they are valve caps right?

Well the shop I had a scuff taken care of who is owned by the dealership that I bought my FR-S from lost two of them... They offered to mail me some but ended up just driving across the street to the Toyota dealership and taking a pair and handing them to me.

I took a picture of it ... LOOK at the marked PRICE..

WTF?! :confused0068:


Good thing they were FREE! rofl...

Be careful aluminum will seize on the brass valves within a year forcing you to risk shredding the rubber on the valves with pliers or slicing the caps off with a Dremel. If you do use these caps make sure you slather them with anti seize. I had this happen to me on my Si last year.

The TPMS sensor uses what looks like aluminum stems.. I could be wrong.. but its not brass..

Yes, but look how nicely they're packaged .....:)


humfrz

I'd use anti seize nonetheless.

The inside of these actually looks brass there's definitely two metals used in this, Way better than the Ebay ones I had before lol.. but still..

I bought some similar ones. They are nice
