Are they in fact "carbon fiber gas caps" or just wrapped?

I'm pretty positive they're vinyl wrapped. That's what Lyle does...and does well.

They are wrapped, its very nice but in my experience nothing holds up in the Florida sunshine for long. Had a bonnet scoop done and it was not worth it. The real deal will keep you happy for a much longer time. Not knocking the man or his business it is quality all the way, but if you can afford the real deal CF do it.

Yes, they're wrapped.
We will be running some tests on the R53 caps soon.

Thanks for the props, Sly! I was torn between MB and CR for quite a while. Obviously, I went black in the end, but all I knew was that I wanted black and red together (hence my stripes and S decals). With your black roof and wheels, I'd say blacking everything out would look killa!

Back to carbon wrapped gas caps...

The install is very easy. All you need is a small flat-head screw driver.
I'll try posting the video.
