I like it! Personally, I think it looks better with the factory cap though. Yikes!! Price not so much.

And for the record, the reason the stock tanks are clear is for easy visibility to the coolant level.

This is price gouging at its finest....

Curious...have you ever put your name on something besides a piece of paper.
Regardless whether you like this or not, this company is in the business of making products to help out fellow Camaro owners. However, the bigger picture here is the cost of manufacturing, not too mention the time, cost and energy of creating the idea and coming up with the mold. Plus the cost and time filing for a patent. Even if the material cost 50 cents, the cost of manufacturing and bringing it to market was a whole lot more! Yes...I'm speaking from experience!

People find more to bitch about on this site than most others I go on.

This exactly - when you buy a product, you aren't just paying for material costs, but also the costs of research, development and much more. This is true across nearly all products you purchase, and not just the automotive industry. I'm sure roto-fab still makes a decent profit on these, but I would hardly call it price gouging.

This is a nice alternative to some of the pricier metal coolant tanks, and this one still has a window on the side to allow visual inspection of coolant level. The material used for this also looks really nice, and not just some cheap thin plastic.

I like the look. But I too think the pricing is high and that would prevent me from purchasing it.

To all those that say the cost pays for R&D, tooling, and all that. Taking designs like this to production is what I do for a living. I can guarantee there is serious profit margin built into this one, and if that is the price that this part demands, good for them.

But the tooling is straightforward and the pricing of the actual part to make is pretty low as there is no secondary operation like painting. Just saying...

This is a must for everyone with a 6th Gen. That pink tank kills the look of the engine bay.

I paid $500 for an aftermarket tank to get rid of it. Wish this was available back then.

I actually don't need to put my name on anything to realize there is not a $110 cost in R&D and creating a cover for a part that GM already created.

I also don't need to put my name on anything to realize the cost of this product is absolutely ridiculous.

I would bet if the actual part that this covers cost $110 to replace most people would say that cost is totally outrageous and GM is price gouging.

So why would a simple black plastic cover for that part justify a $110?

Oh and by the way... Great thing about this country is I am allowed to have my opinion and speak my mind.

Exactly... I will bet this product is an $85 profit on a $110 product... If not more.

Pros and cons


I like the black finish look. Pro
Don’t like that fat area where the hose comes out. Con

Not seeing the level because it’s black does not bother me, there is a spot to check fluid level.

I will pass on it because of that big hump where the hose comes out. Just looks unnatural there.
