Outlander Sport (ASX/RVR) : Strut Caps
I realize most manufacturers and individuals don't really care about the appearance of the engine bay (since most drivers/owners don't ever bother to even lift up the hood.) I'm of the option.. "just because no one else see it, doesn't mean you shouldn't make it look damn good.
So, here's my attempt to upgrade the engine bay. (I want to give note to infected for inspiring me)
I got myself a pair of these red caps.
Figure they stand out better in a black engine bay.

Thru a local shop that specialize in some beast(ly) Nissan creations... Jotech Motorsports, I kind of sweet talked my way to one of their vendors. Talked them into getting me some Mitsu accessories.
I think they just have red only, but I can ask for you.

Thank you ![Beer](https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/images/smilies/beer05.gif)
I know... Originally I went to their shop looking for a strut brace/bar.
The guys there were super cool. They had a TON of real carbon fiber parts for the GT-R. Their shop/showroom is like a mega candy shop for Nissan fanatics. The day I was there... There were at least 8 custom GT-Rs sitting in front of their store! Talk about feeling "a bit" out of place driving up with my 100HP CUV.
But, sadly they didn't have anything for the base Lancer.
