I just finished installing my Roto-Fab engine and radiator covers.

However, it is now painfully obvious that I need a few more billet caps.
But, I'm not finding any. I still need a brake fluid cap, a radiator cap, and a coolant overflow cap. Anybody seen any of these?

I found a CF brake fluid reservoir cover for a GTO. i can't seem to find it again, so that I can find out who make it. Although I know it won't fit the G8, it would look pretty snazzy under the hood of my car. Anybody know who makes these, so I can try and enlist their help to get one for the G8?

I haven't seen any but the oil cap. If you find them please let us know where.

EDIT: Found some strut covers: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GTO-G8-Billet-Strut-Covers-Cap-2004-2005-2006-08_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q3a2Q 7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a 1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem3 350fd51c3QQitemZ220402110915QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTr uckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Yea, unfortunately there isn't much out there. James (Billet Prototypes) makes a few things but they are mostly covers, not real caps, which attach by set-screw. The guy from Ebay that sells the oil caps was going to look into getting radiator caps made but he never got back to me yet.

Yeah, I have all of the Billet Prototypes stuff. Even though they're just caps, they're still very nice.

FYI: The Billet Prototypes GTO Brake Fluid cap will fit.

Just remember, it has GTO engraved on it. It's barely noticeable to me, though.

of you tried looking at the Corvette caps? I am using most of them. The only ones I cannot get are the Coolant Resivor and Power Steering.
I am attaching pics of what I have so far!

I sent e-mail to the gentleman that makes caps for the Vette to see if he would entertain the idea of making Coolant and Power Steering caps

They don't attach by set screws. The set screws are there as a just in case. They stay in place with pressure.

Who ever makes the brake fluid cap will have to change it so it reads DOT 4 fluid, and
yes more underhood goodies like that would be very nice to spruce it up!
