TRD oil cap?

TRD oil cap?

Postby TRD_solaRa » Fri Jul 16, 2004 1:20 pm

Okay I have been seeing quite a bit of these so-called "TRD oil caps" on ebay.com . . . but are they reliable? I don't really mind if it isn't actually a "TRD" oil cap, but it has to be durable and have some longevity to it. The one thing that makes me kinna sketch is the fact that they are selling for what, $0.99 or something. What do you guys think about them? Any input is G. Here's one of the ebay TRD oil caps . . . http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7910763820&category=46098 . . . Thanks guyz. Peace.Image

prob a TRD replica.

other than dressing up the engine slightly, it has nothing to deal w/ performance.

Thats how they make theri money though. They attract people with the low price and sometimes people don't even notice S&H, othertimes it still works out cheaper

Also with that much shipping cost if it's a piece of crap they still made their money even if they let you return it. I generally try to avoid the ebayers that have high shipping, it sketches me out.
