At least the titanium lug nuts are made of real titanium, not fake plastic titanium look plating, are an improvement due to lighter weight, and you can see them.

I bought mine a few years back and transferred to current car, it is real aluminium outer with plastic internals. Probably is frivolous...
Only risk is when you forget to close it and leave it dangling from the gas flap, car behind warned me fortunately

For a moment I was confused and thought I was in the Corvette Forum.

The service caps aren't real caps. They are just billet "covers" for your plastic oem caps.

I got one - saw it on special last year at Suncoast for ~$100 I think. Just looked too cool. It is metal though - very thin metal shell around plastic. Scratch the car with it? No, it is light weight - unless you are completely klutzy - and then you'll scratch your car anyway with something.

It costs so much, cause its been tested in wind tunnel. It also weighs 2lb less than stock, so your 0-60 time is at least half a second better.

I'm telling ya! Because of the success of this high-performance mod, I'm also going to go for this one too:

High Performance Brake Mod

What do you guys think?
