CF caps just arrived. I think they really look good with the black top. I will post before and after shot.

Look nice. FYI the current bid on my stock set is $75 on eBay, had no idea how to price them so started there. In any event it seems doable to offset the cost of the upgrade.

Can you tell the difference by looking at it or you have to take off the cover to really notice?

The ebay link above is the cheaper cheap alternative where you stick them over the originals.
They do a complete replacement ones: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1813602476...84.m1423.l2648 UK ebay |

I doubt you can tell the difference unless you remove it and look at the inside, where the aftermarket cap has plastic backing versus CF on the OEM. Another member posted a picture of the inside of the OEM cap, it looks pure CF.
