I bought similar valve caps, but mine are Silver and do not say WRX on them, just STI.
They are great, look very nice with the shadow chrome rims on the GT.B.

However the number plate bolts I also bought are a different story, those things are bloody massive. Not going on my car as it looks far too ricey. If anyone wants them you can have them for a small fee....of beer.

I'll put some pics up on the weekend of both to show you guys, definitely recommend the valve caps, although mine are not anti theft ones...but TBH I don't care they are just $20 caps, as long as they don't steal the car I won't be too fussed. Although if someone took the valve caps off and THEN stole the car and left the caps sitting where the wheels used to be...now THAT would be comedy gold.

LOL! It aint the valve caps keeping the air in mate, but they look alright. I wonder how long they will last. I had some ordinary chrome caps on when I got my new wheels and am down to two of them left!

Yeh I know it isnt SOLELY the valve caps, but they do assist in stopping leakages etc.

Speaking of air in tyres, been so caught up in all these other things with my car that I hadn't checked the tyre pressures at all since I bought the car 3 weeks ago.
Checked them today and they were all 31 :oops:
Put fronts to 37 and rears to 39, does that sound good? I vaguely recall Ric saying something about fronts needing to be lower.

Spotted these anti theft STI valve caps in chrome if anyone is interested.
Personally I wouldn't go with the white STI logo, but whatever floats your boat.
