Don't open them can of worms! I cant afford CF/eurthane, and I'd break it if I could.

Can you spot the fake,..... of course you can.
Its a cosmetic mod, theirs no benifet except to the eye.
I use to have one, but couldnt deal with how it looked. I now have a real one.
If your going to do somthing for its cosmetic appeal, dont be cheap about it
do it all out or not at all.
Is it really that bad to have one of these? I mean to me it looks ok but i do agree with the fact about it being fake even though it'll make your engine bay look nice.

Wells its really up to you. Do you mind having cheap, obvious knock off items on your car?
Honestly, if its just a nicer oil cap your looking for, they make them in just plain aluminum without the badging.
If you are wanting the badging, then why go with an obvious knock that will be pointed and at any meet or show that has Nissan enthusiasts at it.
The fake badging isnt fooling anyone, all its saying is look a my cheap, knock off parts.

Its a cosmetic mod, if your looking to can some extra points at a show and etc. they dont hurt to have.
Other then that, no real use for them.
Its not any gayer the Nismo badges on your car,....especially when the car has no Nismo parts.

To each their own...

Let me rephrase my previous statement, Spending 60+ dollars on an oil cap is gay, IMO. But that comes from my mindset of being on a budget at the moment.

So basically you're saying that because you can't afford it, you're knocking it?
