I screw my valve caps on with a wrench; you can't take them off with bare hands :)

Group buy anyone? LOL! :P

J/K. While it looks good, I actually prefer the charcoal ones I have now, not only for the colour but for the 6-sided top which allows me to use a wrench to fastened them tightly. These C/F ones have a rounded top and you'd have to use pliers to tighten them and that's bound to leave scratches.

Speaking of tightening with a wrench, is that harmful to the valve stem? I'm always afraid I'll break the seal or something twisting it too hard.

Nice :D

If a G/B is on the cards, I'll get on board :D I'm just got "standard" plastic dust covers on my car at the moment.

Oh, & IMHO, they would be better if they didn't say STI :D

Being of the generic universal variety, I'm sure the STi logo is just a sticker (that way they can apply any logo/brand they wish) that you can either leave off or peel off.

Yep... Depending on the final price of course... Never been a big fan of paying big bucks for things like valve caps etc.
