If by "need", you mean you just want to dress it up, then VMS makes a very attractive cover for the OEM cap.

Here's a picture from my G... which uses the same cap as the Maxima. Would work on your 370, too.

go oem or go home... a radiator cap is an important part of your cooling system, if you have an understanding on how the cooling system works then you will know what I am talking about...

My OEM cap was leaking so I replaced it with a Stant cap and it works just fine.
