Acura logo valve stem caps

While I was on this website looking at their Type S license frames I came across these in case anyone is interested http://www.auto-gifts.com/logovalvecaps.html

The picture of the cap is here http://store5.yimg.com/I/auto-stuff_1663_38074

Anyone have these already?

you know, there is a company that makes valve caps with a logo, and what you do is use this special little key on them in order to get them off.

it's hard to explain, but basically , without using this little plastic key, they cap will just rotate upon itself.

i'll get the link from my buddy tonight, he has them on his StooK, but they run you around 30bux i think

allright, i just called my buddy Mike at the Diablo shop ( www.diabloautosports.com ) and he knows the distributor who sells the caps that use the special little key to get them off.

i highly suggest giving him a ring about the "locking" caps ! dont get non locking ones!

i'm soooo gonna get these soon

Yup, these are the ones I have.... you really can get them off w/o the key. It's tough if they're tightened properly, but they will come off. Mine are black, so most people don't even notice them. I've had them for a year and a half and had no problems. Of course you can count the number of people who have noticed them on one hand, but still, no problems.....

I'd have to do some serious searching. I may still have the invoice... I'll check tonight when I get home. I bought them over a year and a half ago, so the chances are slim. I definitely have the box they came in though, so I can at least get a product name for ya....

I had a set of the non locking logo ones.
One time someone stole two of them off of one side of the car.
And another time someone stole one of them on the other side of the car.
Now have three reg caps and one logo cap on my car

anyone know where to get the lockable ones???
