The oil cap? They have been around for awhile but they cost alot

 

[shook]

Yea, the oil cap. The silver one has been around and still is, but not many people know that there was once a Gold version. Its been discontinued for a while now, and rarely ever pop up. I've seen a few spring type Gold caps, and actually know one person who has one, but have never seen the screw on type. You'd be lucky to come across a spring type Gold cap, but it seems the screw on type is the hardest one to find.

The holy grail of oil caps

Haha. It really is. I would say it's one of the hardest genuine TRD parts in general to find.

 

[Hard Taco]

Hmm I need this ! Where might u find ?

 

[BigFatDogEatingPizza]

How much hp does it produce?

I don't think there's any one place to find these. I think best bet is to search for them on other Toyota forums to see if anyone who has one that may be parting out, or maybe on eBay. A friend of mine just so happen to come across one on eBay and I jumped on it before he did, but it has been years since I've seen one on eBay. Have to keep you eye out for one, then you have to be lucky to find one, and even more lucky to find the screw on type if you actually plan to use it.

How much hp does it produce?

It adds style !
















...and gives you the ability to see through through those wicked Victoria's Secret armor that many women like to wear... It IS the Holy Grail of TRD parts.

Those are all the knock off caps. Most people wouldn't care, in the end it's just an oil cap, and I understand that. I just have a problem, I need to have the genuine parts or none at all. Like BSP06XRU mentioned, this was one I've been chasing for a long time. :top:

Are you sure its not a knock off piece? there a ton of them on ebay with trd stickers.

I'm positive. You can tell the knock offs from the genuine, especially the gold one.

Knock offs.

Genuine, not mine.

Mine.

The cap itself is shaped a little different, the gold color is different, and the sticker on the original is actually an aluminum decal compared to the knock offs gel coated looking foil. Can also tell by looking at the lettering and logo. The genuine has sharper edges, flatter face, and is actually aluminum. Knock offs lettering and logo are more burred, not as sharp, has a gel coat over a foil look. The machining is also a lot cleaner on the genuine parts. You can actually see the machining marks on the knock offs.

 

[woodex m.e.]

I know they are still knock offs but seeing machine marks on a steel or aluminum part is actually a selling point for a lot of gear heads. It also has nothing to do with its build quality, just machinists preference. dont knock it as a ngative feature.

Maybe if the machine marks were clean.

Its all down to feeds, speeds, cutter and direction. A lot of motorcycle guys love the agressive tool marks.
