Camaro Decorative Reservoir Caps
When most enthusiasts think about modifying their 6th Gen Camaro, they immediately focus on horsepower, suspension, wheels, or brakes. While those upgrades absolutely transform the driving experience, there's another area that's often overlooked, the engine bay.
Stand out. Without being a standout.
Because not every upgrade needs to add horsepower.
If you are like me, you want your engine bay to look as good, as your car runs. You care about the small details, and have tremendous pride of ownership.
This is why we set out to create a cost effective “non-flashy” way to cover the ugly OEM reservoir caps with a clean, tasteful design that “covers the mess” and allows the rest of your build to stand out and shine.
These decorative reservoir caps are designed for the enthusiast who understands that a well-sorted engine bay should look as refined as it performs. Manufactured using ultra-durable PA12 nylon on an industrial-grade SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) printer, these caps deliver OEM-plus aesthetics with modern manufacturing precision.
Each cap was designed in 3D and carefully printed on a $500,000 industrial HP SLS system, allowing for extremely tight tolerances, uniform wall thickness, and exceptional surface consistency. The result is a part that feels intentional—not 3D printed in the hobbyist sense, but engineered and finished to a professional standard.
Material & Durability – Why PA12 Nylon Matters
For those who don’t know, PA12 (Polyamide 12) nylon is a material widely used in OEM automotive components, aerospace ducting, and motorsports applications due to its excellent balance of strength, flexibility, and thermal stability.
Compared to lower-grade plastics or hobby-level 3D printing materials, PA12 offers:
High heat resistance, making it well-suited for under-hood environments
Excellent chemical resistance to oils, coolants, and common automotive fluids
Dimensional stability, ensuring consistent fitment over time
Impact and fatigue resistance, so the caps won’t become brittle or crack with age
Because these parts are produced using industrial SLS printing, they are fully dense and isotropic—meaning strength is consistent in all directions, unlike layered filament prints that can delaminate or warp over time.
The surface is printed with a satin-wrinkle texture, carefully chosen to mimic the look of our GMS High Flow Hood Brackets that utilize a satin black wrinkle powder coating. After printing, each cap is dyed black, creating a deep, uniform finish that resists fading and blends seamlessly into both factory and modified engine bays. The satin-wrinkle texture isn’t just cosmetic—it also helps mask fingerprints, dust, and minor wear, keeping the engine bay looking clean and intentional.
Installation is not only simple, but fully reversible. These caps install directly over your existing factory reservoir caps using a precise friction fit (no adhesives, no hardware, and no permanent modifications) They stay secure in normal driving conditions while allowing easy removal if needed. (note: due to the some slight variation in reservoir cap dimensions, a dab of RTV or silicone may be needed to secure the fitment)
Let’s be clear: these caps are purely cosmetic. They don’t change performance, pressure, or function—and that’s exactly the point. They exist for drivers who open the hood and care about what they see. For those who believe a car that runs hard should also look the part.
Because performance is expected—details are chosen.
Who These Are For…
Enthusiasts who value engine bay aesthetics
Owners building a clean, OEM-plus or show-quality look
Drivers who believe the details matter just as much as the dyno sheet
If you care about what your car looks like when the hood is open—or when the photos get posted—this is the finishing touch.

Start With the Small Details
The easiest way to improve your engine bay is by replacing—or covering—the factory plastic components that immediately catch your eye.
One of the most popular upgrades is a set of Decorative Reservoir Caps.
Unlike replacement coolant caps, these precision-made covers install over your existing OEM reservoir caps, preserving the factory sealing system while dramatically improving the overall appearance of your engine compartment.
Whether you're opening the hood for maintenance or showing your Camaro at a local meet, these subtle upgrades immediately elevate the look of the engine bay.

Add Some Billet Bling
Nothing dominates the appearance of a supercharged LT4 engine bay quite like the supercharger itself.
While the factory lid performs well, a beautifully machined billet supercharger lid immediately becomes the centerpiece of the entire engine compartment.
Beyond the premium appearance, a billet lid communicates that the vehicle wasn't simply modified—it was thoughtfully built.
The precision-machined finish, clean lines, and performance-inspired appearance pair perfectly with other billet engine components and create a far more refined look than the factory cast lid.

The Hardware Matters More Than Most People Think
One of the easiest mistakes enthusiasts make is installing premium aftermarket components while reusing faded, rusty, or mismatched factory fasteners.
Hardware may seem insignificant until you notice it.
High-quality stainless steel ARP 12-point hardware gives the entire engine bay a more professional appearance while also providing the durability and corrosion resistance expected from one of the most respected names in motorsports fasteners.
Replacing visible factory bolts creates a subtle but unmistakable difference.
Popular upgrades include:
Supercharger Lid Bolts
Valve Cover Bolts
Ignition Coil Bolts
Together, these small details help tie the entire engine bay together.

You can also complete the look with matching ARP Gen V LT Valve Cover Bolts and ARP Gen V LT Ignition Coil Bolts, available from Griffin Motorsports. (griffin-motorsports.com)
Add a Splash of Color
Most factory LT engine bays are dominated by shades of black and gray.
One of the most dramatic visual improvements comes from introducing carefully selected color.
The Katech Valve Cover & Coil Relocation Package completely transforms the appearance of the engine by exposing beautiful powder-coated valve covers while relocating the ignition coils out of sight.
Instead of hiding one of the nicest pieces of the engine beneath bulky ignition coils, the Katech system creates a much cleaner, more symmetrical appearance.
Available in multiple powder-coated finishes, these valve covers allow you to introduce just the right amount of color while maintaining an OEM-quality appearance.
Whether your Camaro theme is red, blue, orange, silver, or classic wrinkle black, this upgrade instantly becomes one of the most eye-catching features under the hood.
Even better, the relocation brackets are engineered so the valve covers remain easily serviceable without removing the coils, making the system as functional as it is attractive.

Build Around a Theme
The best-looking engine bays don't happen by accident.
Rather than installing random aftermarket parts, decide on an overall theme before purchasing components.
Some popular combinations include:
Satin Wrinkle Black with stainless hardware
Black and Red accents
Black and Blue accents
Polished Billet with stainless hardware
OEM Plus styling with subtle billet upgrades
By coordinating finishes, hardware, and colors, your engine bay will look like a complete package rather than a collection of individual parts.
Don't Forget Function
One of the best aspects of these upgrades is that they don't force you to choose between appearance and performance.
Decorative reservoir caps retain the factory sealing system.
ARP hardware improves both appearance and serviceability.
Billet components offer exceptional durability while enhancing the visual appeal of the engine.
Katech's coil relocation system cleans up the engine bay while maintaining accessibility for future maintenance.
These are upgrades you'll appreciate every time you lift the hood—whether you're at the race track, a local car show, or simply working on your Camaro in the garage.
Final Thoughts
Horsepower may win races, but attention to detail is what separates a nice build from an unforgettable one.
If you've invested thousands into your 6th Gen Camaro's performance, don't overlook the engine bay. Small details like decorative reservoir caps, billet supercharger components, premium ARP hardware, and color-matched valve covers create a cohesive, professional appearance that reflects the quality of the entire build.
At Griffin Motorsports, we carefully select products that not only perform at the highest level but also help enthusiasts build Camaros they're proud to show off—whether the hood is open or closed.
