Not OEM quality but cheaper

I ordered a pair of these caps in part because some reviewers claimed they were OEM quality but that is not the case. I was sure I saw a blink in a product video and I was. Skins are thin edges of plastic that squeeze through slots in the mold used to form the product. This indicates poor form and lack of post-processing. It flickers at these sockets. The hinge action of the cap is uneven and doesn't have as much friction as an OEM cap, allowing the cap to fall off instead of staying open like OEM caps. The latch latch that holds the lid in the closed position is fine, as is the molded lettering on the front of the lid. As a result, two packs of these caps cost less than half the cost of OEM items from my Toyota dealer. You can certainly use them straight out of the bag and they should work. More specific people may want to clean the fairing with a sharp knife or an X-Acto knife. Such an item is unlikely to be checked after installation. Many will find this acceptable. I'm more picky and use my outlet a lot so I'll be returning it and getting OEM cover because I prefer it to have a firmer feel with a better finish and look and a more secure cover to stay open.

Pros
