????


I always just tell people:

Look at this pic, http://www.heeltoeauto.com/mar...2.jpg

And compare to the stock cap.....not sure how hard that is, but some people still get confused.


Every once in a while, neither cap will fit right. From my experience, it is because the radciator in the car has been replaced with an aftermarket one (not necessarily a performance one, but just not OEM) and the neckis are not designed with the same tolerances as stock.
