Hey guys,
For the 4 years I've own my Miata(s), I've always wanted a neat & elegant oil cap. I never gotten around to getting one because, well, I don't know. I finally got one from REV9 and had the chance over the weekend to install it and do a short review.
The oil cap itself is a nice piece. Though from the pictures, I expected it to be a little more solid feeling. On a scale from 1-10, I would say quality of this oil cap is a 9.5.
The installation is as simple as putting a sock on your foot. No tools necessary, obviously. The only thing you'd need is a towel of some sort to wipe down the engine bay if you feel like being clean.

So, this is what you get right out of the package. The Garage502 oil cap itself, and a factory Mazda oil cap o-ring.

Slip that o-ring on there. Make sure you put the o-ring on the right way. It only goes on 1 way, correctly.

Remove the old oil cap, and screw on the Garage502 cap.
