Just wondering if anyone had any cool valve stem caps on their E. I'm looking at these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8049163152&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT But haven't made up my mind. If you have picts, that would be cool too.

Dude Wally-mart has the blue chromes that would match your element, for like 4 bucks.....
That might be a cheaper option if you wanna try it...

If these work, they'd be worth having IMO.

I'm not as diligent about checking tire pressure as I should be, but a quick color-check visual, that would help.

Don't do it!!! I had those they were a waste of money. My mom got me some for christmas. 2 broke and the others filled up with salt, water, dirt, etc. Now maybe mine weren't nice ones but they were wrong most of the time even when they were pretty new.

I purchased two sets from that TVA; one set with Happy Faces, the other with the Peace sign. I have 2 of each on my Element right now, mix-n-matched, mounted diagonally from each other.

Yeah, I know - I'm a goob.

I got plain aluminum caps from Advance Auto Parts for about $4. It's a subtle change in look, but I doubt they'll get stolen.

Having fun valve caps is a harmless and cheap way to exhibit an ability to laugh at yourself. Mine are chrome...have enamel orange "flames" on the top....on an E....not exactly a hot rod in anyone's mind. They match my paint, and my plate holders (also enamel flames). I like em, they're funny in a very ironic way. Sort of a poke at the fast, faster, fastest HP worshipping mentality. They're hardly "gooby" - they're just fun - since when was a sense of humor "gooby". Some people take themselves just a little too seriously. It's a E people, part of the charm is that it's not trying to be something it isn't (fast, sleek, powerful) and is almost in your face with it's practical, utilitarian, funky square E-ness. It begs for your quirky personality to shine thru.....ain't that half the fun of owning one???

I couldn't agree more. The E is has so much personality, it's... well.... for lack of a more descriptive word: COOL :cool:

You can make it look like a race car, you can make it look like a serious off-road vehicle, you can make it look like a clown car if you want, or you can keep it plain and subdued.
