Here’s mine. So far just the billet caps, intake bridge decal and SS hood insulation emblem with chrome buttons. Hope to get carbon fiber fuel rail covers and battery den cover. If you get the billet cap for the washer tank be sure and drill a pin hole in it, otherwise your washers will weep out the jets during acceleration.

Ahhh, so that's why I get washer fluid on the window under hard acceleration.....only on the drivers side.....and I have the stock cap! May be plugged up?
#24
Possibly. I’ll just I noticed my leaking all of a sudden and couldn’t figure out why. Then read some posts on here. Then figured out it didn’t start till after I had put the new caps on. Once I drilled the pin hole I haven’t had them leak anymore.

So it was leaking before you put a hole in it, but then it stopped leaking after you put a hole in it? That doesn't make any sense.

I think what was happening was pressure was building up in the tank from the fluid moving around and the only place to relieve that pressure was through the wiper jets. Other people have put pressure valves inline. I choose to put a pin hole in the new cap. The new cap for washer tank was not a Velcro overlay but a whole new cap that had a o ring seal.

Interesting.... I noticed that when I got on the throttle that I was getting some washer fluid on my windshield. Thought maybe at first there was a problem, but the engine looked fine upon inspection. It was on the driver's side. Maybe a cap issue. (Cool)

I was never one to do much with appearance modifications in my engine bay. To me a clean stock engine compartment makes more of a statement. Especially on an older car!
I have always put about equal time cleaning and detailing my engine compartment as I do with the exterior...

Sure enough, the pin hole was plugged. Cleaned it up and will see what happens next time she's out for a run!

Not sure it was on the car when I bought it. But here is a link I found it at corvette mods. I would try to find it at another vendor though.
