Default TRD Radiator Cap and Oil Cap Set: Ordered and Installed

For anyone looking to dress up your LS I just ordered these items and installed them over the weekend.

Oil Cap is high quality direct replacement.

Rad cap has higher pressure rating and looks great. Too bad its hidden under the air intake assembly

Replaced the wipers while I was out there with new lexus ones.

So you spent $81 to dress up the engine which no one will ever see?

I dont base my purchases on what other people will see on the car. I had some extra money on a gift card I needed to spend before it expired.

Only mods under the hood are:

1. FIGS Battery Hold Down Bracket in Black Billet
2. Blitz High Flow Dry Filter
3. TRD Oil Cap
4. TRD Radiator Cap
5. Optima Yellow Top

Thanks for posting this! I JUST got my engine bay painted and was looking for Billet pieces to dress up the engine.

Post some pictures of your engine bay. Did you have the engine covers paint matched to the car?

I have been considering getting mine painted gloss black or have them hydro-dipped carbon fiber if i cant find an ancellation real carbon cover.
