Anyone know where I can get the green OEM valve stem caps for an 07?

The clowns at discount tire took 2 of my caps and just replaced them with some plain chrome ones. These are the ones I'm referring to:

I just need two of them, lol. I know it's stupid, but I liked them.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks. I don't have a costco card and I only need 1 set, though.

Are there any other options?

Costco?? Tire shop?

I used to have all-metal caps on my Accord hatchback, some kids yanked them. I currently have metal capped plastic caps. Are all-metal really supposed to be better for nitro-filled tires?

BTW. the valve stem caps that came on the car from the factory were not green. As I understand it, a tire shop (costco...prob. others) put green caps on to indicate the tires have been filled with nitrogen. I'd guess any shop that pushes the nitrogen "snake oil" could hook you up with green caps.

there is no "snake oil" about nitrogen.

Its nonsense. Sure nitrogen will maintain a steadier pressure during rapid or large temperature changes, but in the end, it your not driving F1, u dont need it. The air you breathe on a daily basis (the air you fill your tires with) contains 78% nitrogen to begin with.
