    With the first batch of the vvt solenoid caps almost ready to hit the streets. I wanted to get some info across and do a quick survey for color preferences.

    The cap assembly is a 2 part kit that is made of 6061 aluminum.

    The retainer slips in place on the vvt solenoid and the cap secures to the retainer with a hidden grub screw.

    The top of the cap is intended to have a vinyl insert placed for further accent color options, or can be left blank.

    During the initial launch I will not offer custom powder coating color options. We will have a few choices of powder coated caps available but I want your help with desired color choices. I will make caps available in raw aluminum for those who wish to paint, powder coat, or polish to their desired combo.

    The launch price for the caps will be

    $40 - Powder coated
    $30 - Raw aluminum

    You will be able to choose your color choice for the vinyl inserts. Currently planning brushed stainless steel, carbon fiber, red anodized brushed aluminum and blue anodized brushed aluminum vinyl colors.

    Please let me know via the poll what color caps you would like so I can plan.

    Satin black and Gloss black powder coating are looking great. It's been about 4 years since I have powder coated anything but so far I'm getting great results.

    I'm going to do a couple more colors tomorrow and will be getting these ready for a release.

    I was aiming for 7-1 but think more like 7-7 because I want to make sure these are done right.

    Final test fit was absolutely perfect.

    Only exception is it took me forever to find the needed 2.5mm allen key to install it.

    So I ordered up 100 so I can include them with the cap kits for you guys.

    Notice in the top picture a sneak peak at the prototype cam sensor cover .

    Also notice in the bottom picture that more caps are being produced as we speak.

    I have 40 for the initial launch but want to have back up stock for when they sell out.

    Pumped for this. That solenoid poking through the vc is so ugly.

    Release is pushed back a few days (still running behind on current orders of other items but should catch up by Wednesday) but we should open up for cap orders on or before 7-7-19

    I'm working on the web site listing for the item right now. I have lots of info posted up so be sure to read through the listing.

    I'm going to have a few color options as well.

    More pics and info will be added as we get ready to launch.

    Well I don't know if it's supposed to be live yet but I definitely just placed an order for a satin black cap.
