the TRD caps are for when you run out of things to buy for your GS and you still need to feed the addiction 
I also agree you would never notice the rad cap unless your car currently runs hot.

You'd have to be pushing your car (like on a track for an extended time) really hard to see any benefit, so it's primary purpose is cosmetic. Oil cap is just for looks.

Now, now...
Can't rush some things.. I am on the hunt for a projector.... Not the q45. I want something else.. and I think I might know which one I am going to use.... That will be in there with the blacked out headlight, led cleared turn signals, and the angel eyes. If it looks clean. Otherwise the angel eye is getting the boot and will continue with the rest of the project...
Stay Tuned....

I just won a TRD radiator cap in the Lexfest raffle this past weekend. (BTW, awesome event! It was a blast and great to see all the Lexus enthusiasts come out). Since I do not autox much, its mostly a cosmetic upgrade, but I was wondering if putting the TRD cap on would have any ill effects on the cooling system. For example, will the hoses, etc be able to withstand the increased pressure over the years? Thanks for any input.

If you really want some added horsepower then do this, guarnteed and this is really not known but most but high tuners, adds up to 17.2 HP!! Add tire pressure between the following time: 4:08pm through 4:11pm Pacific time this gives you 3 minutes. At this time the sun is set a certain place in the sky which adds something to the air (no one really know what this element is but it is called TraDA5). This gives your tires an extra element and gives you up to 17.2 HP!
